Christmas Break French Highlands
I just returned from the bustle of London, and the contrast couldn’t be starker: it’s snowing here. The Cantal Highlands have been transformed into a silent, stunning winter wonderland. This is the ultimate escape, a place where the air is crisp, the silence is golden, and the joy of the holidays is found in the simple, shared moments.
Your French Christmas Home
From Christmas Eve through January 4th, 2026, “Instants d’Absolu” – Ecolodge & Spa is designed to become your own French home away from home. We’ll cover all your needs during your stay: from our gastro-nomadic dining and comforting drinks by the fireplace, to all the serenity required for a successful family time together. Your only task is to embrace the essence of the moment.

A Quintessential Country Christmas Experience
Just imagine… waking up to vast, snowy landscapes; spending a luminous day exploring the silent forests with snowshoes; and returning to the warm, crackling fire of the stone chimney. Our aim is to help you focus entirely on wilderness wellness so that you should make precious memories.

Seamless European Connection (Eurostar Friendly)
Travelling to your secret hideaway has never been easier. For those coming from the UK and Northern Europe, the journey is fluid:
- Take a comfortable route via Eurostar to France.
