An Exclusive from Quartier Libre: The Christmas Enchantment
Stéphane Dossetto, Commercial Director of Quartier Libre, explains: « This relates to departures on December 19, 22 and 23, and it will simply be exceptional. Our guests will dive into the magic of Christmas for a magical day full of surprises with:
A creative workshop “The Christmas Gnomes” where two of our guides will help you craft your own fabric decorations.
The stories and treasure hunt, where after a wonderful tale you will set off in search of a hidden treasure.
Christmas cinema: enjoy a special screening at the cinema.
Meeting with Santa Claus: experience a privileged moment with Santa! A day dedicated to magic and enchantment, with exclusive experiences offered only within the framework of our stay.
In short, enough to make even the most skeptical believe in Santa Claus.»
Direct flights to Luleå from Nantes, Metz, Marseille, Lyon…
Stéphane Dossetto, Quartier Libre’s Commercial Director, continues: « For five seasons now, we have decided to promote the land of the Sami, better known to us as Swedish Lapland. A region that was almost unknown to the French public. The success has never wavered over the years, and we are once again reaffirming our commitments with confidence. That said, Paris is performing well for 2027, but there are still seats on our December 30 flight. It’s a pity because our programme around the magic of Christmas is simply exceptional (see further in the article). Likewise for Lyon where we have two departures; if the January 7, 2027 one is full, that is not the case for February 13.
We are also behind on Nantes on 25/02, Marseille on 27/02 and Metz on 11/03. We are making an effort by scheduling regional departures and this, at the professionals’ request. If we want to continue this risk-taking next season and the following ones, everyone needs to play along and in the meantime we need you.»

Swedish Lapland: Our multi-activity stay at Scandic Luleå with guaranteed departures…
Stéphane completes: « For the fifth year in a row we are offering our exclusive hotels in Swedish Lapland. The offer is increasingly popular, especially as we improve 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.
Upon arrival at the hotel, our four-person French-speaking team equips each guest with a “cold weather” outfit (overalls, boots and gloves) which they will keep throughout the week to fully enjoy the stay, protected from the Finnish winter.
The Scandic hotel is located about 2 kilometers from downtown Luleå. The beachfront walking route is very pleasant. It is a very nice establishment (equivalent to a renovated 4*) equipped with an indoor pool, a sauna and a gym (for all ages) freely available during opening hours.
During the half-board stay, the following daily activities are included in the program:
– A snowmobile excursion combined with an introduction to Nordic life and a lunch in the enchanting Pine Bay.
– A dog-sled safari,
– An introduction to ice fishing and a lunch at the magnificent Brandon Lodge,
– Always around the Brandon Lodge, a trip to admire the powerful rapids of the Pite River and the Storforsen falls with a total drop of over 80m.
– A visit to the village-church of Gammelstad, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
– A discovery of Sami culture at a reindeer and moose farm where you will taste local specialties and share time with the breeder.
It is the ideal product to approach the polar circle with family or friends.»

… Or our stay in the heart of Swedish Lapland, in a forest by the Baltic
Stéphane details: « Our Stay in the heart of Swedish Lapland with guaranteed departures starting at €1799 per person in full board is guaranteed to be a real change of scenery.
The Pite Havsbad hotel located in Piteå is a very beautiful 5* hotel by local standards (equivalent to a 4* by French standards). The establishment features a seaside spa (one entry included), an ice rink, a bowling (paid) and a mini golf (paid), but also a water park (3000m²) with free access, including 3 jacuzzis, 4 saunas, 1 hammam, its pools and 5 slides.
In addition, guests will benefit from activities departing from the hotel. We provide each guest with a “cold weather” gear (overalls, boots and gloves) which they will keep throughout the week and which will protect them from the Lapland winter temperatures.
Similar to the Immersion in Swedish Lapland stay, daily activities are included in the program such as, a snowmobile initiation, a dog sled ride on a Quartier Libre exclusive site with its French mushers, a Sami dinner and a Tent Tipi night by the Baltic Sea, an initiation to the Nordic life and a snowshoeing excursion with Pierre, a Frenchman who has lived there for years. A fitness room is available free of charge, along with raquettes and cross-country skis for self-service. Padel, however, is paid. And to crown everything, films are offered in the beautiful immersive 300-seat room (paid) at the Pite Havsbad hotel.»
Stéphane adds: « The new features to improve, if needed, the quality of the stay, implemented this year, will be renewed:
Make your childhood dream come true and go to meet Santa Claus (during school holidays at Scandic and throughout the season at Pite Havsbad) who is also known as Tomten! Venture into the forest to experience this timeless moment. Nestled in its cozy traditional Kota built exclusively for Quartier Libre clients, he awaits you. Perhaps you will catch sight of his reindeer!
A visit to the village-church of Öjebyn, whose sacred building dates back to 1500, located near Piteå. The dog-sled activity is not just about sitting in the sled with the Mushers but also about discovering the dogs’ living area and spending time with the breeder.
This is the ideal product to approach the polar circle with family, with a free play area and mini-club during school holidays. »
