New Quartier Libre Catalog: Launch of a New Season

Stéphane Dossetto, Quartier Libre’s Commercial Director, is delighted: “ I won’t insult you by recalling the destinations that have made Quartier Libre the specialist known to all professionals.

In the 2027 collection we present our classics, namely Ireland, Swedish Lapland, Scotland, Iceland, Norway, and Italy.

And we have decided to invest in more original products and in new destinations.

Scotland, Halloween between legends and thrills. An original itinerary to experience Halloween amid historic towns, local legends, and offbeat experiences. With nighttime visits in atmospheres wrapped in mystery and charming accommodations.

England to experience the timeless charm of the Cotswolds. A journey discovering the wild and romantic landscapes of the Cotswolds or Cornwall. Rural counties, village pubs, and secret gardens for a literary immersion in total disconnection.

Whisky circuit and Scottish traditions. An immersion to discover Scotland’s renowned landscapes and to explore its ancestral whisky craftsmanship. Between tastings at traditional distilleries and cultural stops, a wonderful spotlight on the Scottish soul to be savored with moderation, or not.

And our new destinations:

Spain with the program Secret Andalusia and its white villages. A fresh way to experience Spain differently, with lands steeped in history, the spectacular landscapes of the sierras, and villages whitened with lime. For travelers who want to feel the Andalusian vibe, visit family-run bodegas and sleep in charming hotels.

Portugal, between the Douro Valley and the wild coast. An immersion at the heart of Portugal, from the Atlantic to wooded hills, with its schist villages, secret terraces, maritime tradition, and culture. A journey that highlights the Lusitanian art of living in slow travel mode.

We are confident that this renewed and original offering will find its audience, all the more since we always guarantee the Quartier Libre quality. In any case, that’s what we felt when presenting them a few days ago at the IFTM.

Stéphane explains: « For the fifth consecutive year we are offering our exclusive hotels in Swedish Lapland. The offer is increasingly popular, especially as we improve the seasonal services year after year. Our program, starting at €1899 per person, Immersion in Swedish Lapland is proposed with the Scandic Luleå hotel as the base camp.

Dès l’arrivée à l’hôtel, notre équipe francophone de 4 personnes, dote chaque client d’un équipement « grand froid » (Combinaison, bottes et gants) qu’il conservera pendant toute la semaine pour profiter pleinement du séjour, protégé de l’hiver lapon.

The Scandic hotel is located two kilometers from the city center of Luleå. The walk along the sea is very pleasant. It is a beautiful establishment (equivalent to a fully renovated 4-star), equipped with an indoor pool, a sauna, and a gym (for all ages) freely available during opening hours.

During the full-board stay, the following daily activities are included in the program:

– A snowmobile excursion combined with an introduction to Nordic life and a lunch at the enchanting Pine Bay.

– A dogsled safari,

– An introduction to ice fishing and a lunch at the magnificent Brandon Lodge,

– Always around Brandon Lodge, a trip to admire the powerful rapids of the Pite River and the Storforsen falls with a total drop of over 80m.

– The visit to the Gammelstad church village, UNESCO World Heritage.

– The discovery of Sami culture at a reindeer and moose farm where you will taste local specialties. You will also share time with the breeder.

This is the ideal product to approach the polar circle with family or friends.”

Stéphane is excited: « This concerns departures on December 19th, 22nd, and 23rd and it will be simply exceptional. Our guests will dive into the magic of Christmas for a day full of surprises with:

An artistic workshop “The Christmas Gnomes” where two of our guides will help you craft your own fabric decorations.

Tales and treasure hunt, where after a wonderful story you will go in search of a hidden treasure.

Christmas Cinema: enjoy a special screening at the cinema.

Encounter with Santa Claus: live a privileged moment with Santa! A day dedicated to magic and enchantment, with exclusive experiences offered only as part of our stay.

In short, enough to make even the most skeptical believe in Santa Claus.”
