Biars-sur-Cère (French pronunciation: [bjaʁ syʁ sɛʁ], literally Biars on Cère; Lengadocian: Biard de Sera) is a commune in the Lot department located in southwestern France. It is the site of the headquarters of Andros, whose brands include Bonne Maman.
During World War II, Biars-sur-Cère villagers hid a number of Jews from Nazi persecution. It has been reported but not verified that among the families protecting Jews was the Chapoulart family who later founded Andros.
