Saint-Céré (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ seʁe]; Languedocien: Sant Seren) is a commune in the Lot department, southern France. The commune includes within its borders the castle of Saint-Laurent-les-Tours, where the artist Jean Lurçat lived and worked for many years, and from which he operated a secret radio for the French Resistance. The castle still houses a collection of his works.
