CanthroFur

CanthroFur 2027 runs from 14 to 19 January in Saint-Sauves-d'Auvergne, France. This furry convention takes over the VTF Le Domaine des Puys holiday village, giving you a self-contained mountain base rather than a standard city hotel. The event is organized by the non-profit SancyFur and keeps things small and scenic, with a strong sense of place that feels more like a winter getaway than a typical con.

The 2027 edition follows the theme of an Evening of Mysteries. A key highlight is the built-in day trip to a nearby ski resort, which is included in the standard ticket. You also get to enjoy local Auvergne food, with regional cheeses, terrines, and honey from nearby producers appearing across the weekend. It is a practical setup for those who want a break from the usual convention circuit and enjoy a bit of fresh air and mountain air.

The venue is high in the Auvergne mountains, so a car is the most practical way to get there and make the most of the ski day. The nearest airport is Clermont-Ferrand, but driving from there is the norm. This is a good option if you want a furry meet with a distinct regional flavour and a bit of outdoor activity mixed in. Just pack your warm layers and be ready for the mountain vibe.
