Pers (in French pronounced as /pɛʁs/; Occitan (post 1500);: Pers) is a former commune in the Cantal department in south-central France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune Le Rouget-Pers.[2]

It is on the edge of the Châtaigneraie and near the Ségala. It is also adjacent to the lake of Saint-Étienne-Cantalès, a large body of water formed by the damming of the river Cère for hydro electric purposes.
