Biars-sur-Cère, Administrative commune in Lot, France
Biars-sur-Cère is a small rural commune in southwestern France located within the Lot region. The settlement sits at roughly 141 meters (463 feet) elevation across approximately 14 square kilometers of territory.
During World War II, residents of this commune sheltered people fleeing Nazi persecution and helped them escape. This period of resistance and protection became an important part of the town's identity and memory.
The town sits along the Cère river, a waterway that shapes the local landscape and daily life. The river has influenced how the community developed and how people use the space around them.
The village is rural in character and it helps to know the location of main facilities before visiting. Opening hours at local offices vary depending on the day of the week, so it is worth checking in advance.
The headquarters of Andros, a major food producer behind the international brand Bonne Maman, is located here. This company connection makes the place an unexpected hub of the food industry despite its rural appearance.
