I haven't a clue, but damp soil at a temperature of below 5deg C is a problem, and I'd guess that is a possibility in the Dordogne. Winters can be cold but it's a large départément so it probably depends on the exact locality. Hardy Geraniums grown in UK don't have a choice! No - but I was replying to your question about cacti!
