Have breakfast in St Céré and you could get in a late ski on the Alpine slopes around Geneva the same day. Why you would bother, though, as there are perfectly good (and inexpensive!) ski resorts within 1hr 20 minutes drive of St Céré - Super Lioran in the Cantal.

Travelling to St. Céré - By Train
There is an express train service from Paris to Brive and then on to our nearest mainline station, Gramat. Rumours abound about a TGV service into the new Brive-Souillac airport from Paris, but, at the moment, they would seem to be just that - rumours.
