CANTAL GRAND SPECTACLE: a journey in the Auvergne highlands

Fancy a trip off the beaten track? Willing to capture the very essence of Travel?
CANTAL GRAND SPECTACLE opens the doors to an authentic, unspoilt land: the Cantal.

Forget far away destinations! Adventure and Wonder are just around the corner, in an exceptional natural setting.

instants d’Absolu – Ecolodge & Spa will be offering you throughout the year, from Spring 2025, a unique and immersive experience in the heart of the Cantal. Here is a brand new programme: CANTAL GRAND SPECTACLE. It’s the latest addition to the range of relaxing and rejuvenating breaks we’ve been offering for the last 15 years (with many new features when we reopen on April, 11).

A tailor-made trip

CANTAL GRAND SPECTACLE is a trip designed with passion and care, for a small group of 4 to 10 persons.
Our aim? To bring you intense, authentic emotions in a warm, friendly atmosphere.

It’s the perfect package for a unique event: a second mariage with the few beloved ones, a getaway with friends or family, or a corporate trip to share time with your best customers or suppliers.

 

from an exceptional natural site

The Cantal is a land of character, with grandiose landscapes, dormant volcanoes, sparkling lakes and verdant forests. Like a jewel in the crown of the Pinatelle forest, this former Templar house has been converted into an ecolodge in 2010, on a site classified Natura 2000 and labelled a Sensitive Natural Area, which has managed to preserve its wild and authentic beauty. It’s our base camp, so you can experience the best of these highlands.

Unforgettable experiences

Imagine having breakfast facing the Cantal mountains, following with a horse-ride to an isolated buron. An archaeologist will reveal the secrets of a legendary monastery.
CANTAL GRAND SPECTACLE is a total immersion in the local culture and heritage, meeting the men and women who bring this region to life with passion.

 

Sustainable and responsible tourism

CANTAL GRAND SPECTACLE fits in perfectly with our vision of tourism that respects the environment and local communities. In fact, it promotes and supports the local culture and  economy. An offer that brings the Cantal’s natural riches to life.

« Calme is to be had in abundance. The farmhouse is surrounded by forested parkland and the 12 rooms are furnished with pinewood tables and rough-luxe fabrics (virgin wool, alpaca, leather…). »

(Travel + Leisure)

The very flavour of the ecolodge is to invite you to reconnect with nature.
Nature? High plateaux and wide open spaces will make you feel protected, in conjunction with our deep desire to make you feel more aware and sensitive towards Nature.

Isn’t connecting with the land the final link in the soul of an ecolodge, reminiscent of African farms and their highly naturalistic approach ?
Our ultimate wish, for absolute luxury: to make you feel and understand deep inside how close nature brings us to our own human nature… while reconnecting us with our inner child.
