Avis THE FROGS' HOUSE Saint-Jeannet

Dette yoga retreat er fantastisk og jeg vil på det varmeste anbefale det. Søger du et yoga retreat udover det sædvanlige er dette stedet. Det gælder både lokation, sammensætning af retreat, maden lavet med kærlighed og menneskene som står bag. God tur.

The Frogs House is the most wonderful place ???? for many reasons;
* the retreat is run by the loveliest, warmest people.
* the yoga and meditation were wonderfully restorative.
* the CBT (new to me) was extremely insightful.
* the food was just amazing; healthy and totally to die for ☺️
* St Jeannet was a little village perché with the biggest heart; we felt very welcomed.

My second visit to this beautiful place, and, again, I leave with wonderful memories of great people, inspiring yoga sessions, excellent food, and much more.

The Frogs House exceeded all of my expectations. It is situated in a charming French village and everything about the retreat is authentic. Benoît takes pride in introducing his retreatants to the local walks, food and culture and guides the spiritual aspect of the retreat in a warm, down-to-earth yet powerful way. The food is wonderful and it is very well-organised while still having a relaxed feeling. I will be back. Five stars without hesitation.

We had not only a Yoga retreat in this beautiful and warmhearted house, but also a mindful cooking-session together, a marvellous hike to a river (we jumperd in) with a delicious picknick and a Private sightseeing Tour (inklusiv a drink in a hidden Absinthbar) with Benoit.
He is a wonderful yoga teacher, also his kolleagues.
All the food was regional and fresh homemade. Superb!!!

Another wonderful week. This peaceful haven somehow manages to set me up for the year ahead...just by remembering how to give myself permission to come back to myself . The yoga sessions are so worth getting up for (I am not an early riser!) and Aurore and Ronaldo's beautiful home made cooking is always a feast to look forward to. Above all, it's the gentle kindness and compassion of the team, led by Benoit, that make all the difference. That's not to say there isn't a lot of fun and laughter..just that this is the bedrock on which it stands. And on top of all that of St. Jeannet is a very very beautiful, calm little village.

It is the 3rd time that I participate in a retreat in the Frog's House. The team is amazing, friendly and caring. I always leave with a better understanding of myself and energized to face life.

Quelle joie de revenir à St Jeannet ! Un endroit magique, une équipe toujours au top, des rencontres incroyables. Revenir à la Frog’s c’est revenir en famille. Love you all ????

My friend and I booked a week's yoga retreat by Ali and Benoit and his fantastic team at Frogs House at the end of March to kick off the season. It was an unforgettable experience that we hadn't expected. The location alone in this enchanted medieval village in the mountains of Nice is worth the trip. The Frog House, which is located in the centre of the village, is a lovingly maintained house with several rooms, a communal kitchen and a yoga room. The team around Ali, who organises the retreat, and Benoit, who owns the house and also gives some of the yoga sessions, are kind-hearted and very concerned about the well-being of their guests. You get the impression of being welcomed into a big family. Ali, Benoit and his team looked after us almost around the clock. It was a very warm atmosphere with great and interesting people who came together around Benoit. Benoit has the gift of gathering the right people around him. He is a very interesting and wise man, the conversations and sessions with him were a total enrichment. Benoit started the yoga sessions with us in the morning, had breakfast and dinner with us, took us on hikes and excursions. The team cooked great meals for us and even gave us a cookery course. They cooked vegetarian and sustainable food and tried to use everything. Many things such as kefir and yoghurt were homemade or produced locally. A wonderful, intense and unforgettable experience.

Magnifique

Cannot recommend the Frog’s House highly enough!Every thing about the yoga retreat is wonderful.Benoit is a calm,warm host,his yoga sessions suit all levels.The house is comfortable,the food delicious and all personnel welcoming.Various activities:
hiking,cooking,workshops and sightseeing
keep one busy!

I have never been sad to leave a hotel until this day. The amount of care the team showed was just exceptional. There was always someone around to support, teach or entertain. The food was amazing. There was not a single day on which I did not wish I could have eaten more. Also, Miriam’s massage was perfect. Get one at least, better two. I often have trouble to enjoy massages but this one was very healing. The yoga was as good as excepted and was well adjusted to the needs of the group. The village and the surrounding is also lovely, very picturesque.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Frogs House. Everyone is so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.It's so much more than yoga.

Benoit created a real sense of serenity, calm and fun! Amazing yoga and Meditation, breathing techniques. The walks, the history, taking us our. The Non violent communication was enlightening. Well worth exploring.

The scenery is beautiful.

Amazing food created by Aurore and Ronald, delicious and nourishing!

Benoit's wife Pily also made the yoga and breathing fun!

Ali kept everything running smoothly and always happy to help.

The staff and other guests made our stay outstanding!

I'm now meditating with my Mexican Frog each morning!! Namaste ????

Un grand merci à toute l’équipe de la Frog’s House et à cette merveilleuse groupe avec qui j'ai partagé cette retraite inoubliable ! J’y ai trouvé tout ce dont j’avais besoin pour un séjour profondément ressourçant dans un lieu où l’on se sent accueilli tel que l’on est ????????????☀️????

Wonderful experience in the hands of lovely hosts in a beautiful location. Yoga combined with happy times and great food. A sweet and unforgettable week. I highly recommend it.

My first yoga retreat, and it will be hard to beat. The Frog's team are so warm and welcoming, and the food and surroundings are amazing. I went with my friend, and we had a fabulous time. It was all so much more than I expected. I highly recommend the experience.

The Frog’s House c'est un havre de paix, un lieu de partage et de belles rencontres dans un magnifique village hors du temps où j'ai passé une merveilleuse et inoubliable semaine.
Un grand merci à Benoît, Ali, Aurore, Ronaldo et Florence pour leur accueil, leur bienveillance et leur grande générosité.
Les cours de yoga et méditations sont de grande qualité et accessibles à tous. Benoît, Jean, Sophie et Pillies chacun a leur manière nous invite à la connexion du corps et de l'esprit, au voyage intérieur ????
Les activités randos, cours de cuisine.... de vrais moments de plaisir, l'atelier de communication non violente très enrichissant.
Super ambiance du groupe, la joie de notre soirée finale étais le reflet de cette belle alchimie partagée tous ensemble ????, ça fait beaucoup de bien, merci pour ces beaux moments de partage.
A très bientot.

The Frog’s House is far more than a yoga retreat — it’s a transformational experience. The stunning beauty of Saint-Jeannet, the warmth of the hosts, the nourishing and beautifully presented meals, the connection to nature, and the deep, authentic yoga practice all come together in a way that settles into your soul. I found presence on my mat like never before, built lifelong connections, and left with profound gratitude. I must also speak to the connection to others that I found. As a solo traveler who had been traveling for 5 weeks before landing in The Frog's House, I was in need of connection and I found it. The retreat is designed to gently (but powerfully) bring people together. I came alone, I left with forever friends and a connection to place.

If you’re considering this retreat, my wish for you is that you listen to your needs and then be ready to receive the gift this place offers and that you deserve.

Excellent séjour à la Frog's House. C'est avant tout une ambiance formidable : tous les membres de l'équipe ont à cœur de nous offrir la meilleure expérience. Leur dévouement, leur bienveillance et leur bonne humeur sont contagieux : on ne peut que se sentir bien. Le programme (yoga, méditation, bain sonore, atelier de communication, randonnées, cours de cuisine, massages, temps libre) est très bien équilibré et accessible à tous. C'est aussi l'opportunité de faire de belles rencontres et de partager des moments formidables (mention spéciale pour notre soirée finale de danse improvisée !)
Le village est magnifique et donne cette impression d'être en dehors du temps. Excellente façon de déconnecter. Un grand merci pour tout à Benoît, Ali, Aurore, Pilie, Ronald, Jean, Sophie et Florence.

This was my first Yoga retreat after practising for a few years and i‘m more than glad it was at the frogs house.

The Yoga itself was holistic and is layed out for all Levels but do not expect physically strong practices. The core element of Yoga is strongly emphasized which in my understanding is the Meditation in the end. It will start with asanas, then different pranayamas are introduced over the week and it will finish with a meditation. There will be different teachers who have developed unique styles and each bring an own aspect of practise into the session for example sound, mantras or visulisation.

The retreat offers much more though.

The main protagonist for the group during the stay Benoît is very knowleable in french culture, history and spiritual developement. He is very easy going and funny too. There will be trips and evenings with him, where you can learn and laugh.

The frogs house Team is quite big though and there will be others that share time with you, usually one at a time. Still there s always time for oneself. No activities have to be attended to. Everything is an offer which is also nice, at least it was for me since i also like to sometimes just enjoy the sun doing nothing.

There is also a workshop on non violent Communication with Hellen which offered me a new perspective. It is worth to check out what that is beforehand.

The cooking by Aurore is on another Level. She is the chef at the frogs House and besides being lovely, she could be cooking at whatever restaurant she wanted to. I dont even have words for the food. I would Book the frogs House just for the food.

It is also possible to Book Massages for 70 Euros an hour and I think - Not sure - 90 Euros for 1 1/2 h. I have had alot of massages but that one was outstanding.

I could go on about the Team and the experiences but to come to a close and sum my impressions up: The Team is big, all are unique experts that have something to Share with you if you want to and it was a fun, relaxing and incredibly well rounded experience.

The commodities are a treasure itself. It is clean, has a (community) kitchen, a practise room, massage room and a terasse. The beds are comfortable, you are provided with towels and there are books in french and english. It is possible to do laundry. The view on the surrounding landscape is astonishable. There are restaurants and a super market close by if you need it. There is always something to eat in the House tho.

Maybe you noticed, I loved this retreat. Thank you The Frogs House Team. I needed this week.

This was my first yoga retreat and I have no comparison, especially as I am a complete yoga beginner, but I can say that it is worth it, even for beginners. It is a wonderful introduction to the world of yoga: philosophy, asanas, mantras, meditation ... the week gave me a lot of new impulses and inspiration, for which I am very grateful. I would like to thank the whole team for your care, I felt very comfortable with you. As a passionate foodie, I would also like to emphasise the tasty food: healthy, delicious and made with lots of love! I can wholeheartedly recommend Frogs House.

I had a wonderful stay at the Frogs' House. All the members of the team were a complete pleasure to deal with. The food far exceeded my expectations (& it was nice to get a chance to try the local wine). The accommodation was incredibly comfortable (& very cute), and I admired & respected the sustainability efforts being made. I enjoyed all the activities that were offered - from the hike, to the yoga/meditation, the cooking class & our final excursion together. I also found the concept of NVC very interesting and the taster sessions left me wanting to learn more. The town of Saint-Jeannet was a complete delight. I was very fortunate to have a wonderful group of ladies to share the week with - I travelled solo & loved making the connections with the other guests. Benoit sets such a beautiful tone at the Frogs' House - his humour, kindness, openness, calmness & spirituality were appreciated by us all. I have come home feeling very serene & with a renewed sense of peace ????

This is an amazing retreat and I highly recommend it! Benoit, Helene, Ali, and team are wonderful, the location is beautiful in a small village between Nice and the mountains, and the rhythm of yoga and meditation mixed with other activities was perfect for me. Besides daily yoga and meditation, we also went hiking, swimming, had non-violent communication workshops, and went to a local organic winery and goat/sheep cheese farm. I hope to return for another retreat.

I found the small village location of the Frogs' House (FH) just ideal for relaxing into a full-immersion retreat experience. The team at FH has designed an integrated program that includes yoga, meditation, interactive communication, excursions, and delicious and nourishing vegetarian/vegan meals. Their emphasis on environmental stewardship and sustainability was very impressive and aligns 100% with my values. The House itself is very comfortable, calm, and quiet, providing a conducive atmosphere for working together with other participants on all aspects of the program. I travelled to the FH as a single participant, as did most of the other participants that week. We quickly bonded and the interactions and activities together built lasting memories. Great experience!

I can't speak highly enough of this retreat. In all areas, my expectations were exceeded. The food was amazing and catered to my vegan diet. The program was infused with rest, education, and community. The rooms are super cozy with great views. The staff are the most gracious hosts and go above and beyond to ensure their guests are cared for and seen. I truly felt at home. I could go on about how amazing this retreat was from beginning to end, all the care and attention to detail the team puts into everything they do. If you are considering this retreat - I recommend just booking :)

A week at Frogs’ House is just what the soul needs! The staff works together so beautifully and all take turns teaching you their practice throughout the week to create the perfect variations of yoga classes - all suiting to your needs and skill level. Fresh delicious food served for every meal and accompanied for all diets and requests. A great balance of yoga, breath work, exploring St. Jeannett and learning about French culture. I had the best week quieting and connecting my mind. Made it hard to leave! ????

Just came back from a retreat at the FrogS House. At the end, I was very sad to say goodbye to the wonderful team, my fellow retreat goers, the lovely FrogS house, and the beautiful village of Saint Jeannet.

I enjoyed the yoga classes, the outings, the cooking class when we cooked vegan & gluten-free, the communication workshops, the conversations at meal time, and last but not least, the delicious food prepared with love. There was an incredible amount of attention to my needs, I felt very well cared for. My room was comfortable and had a nice sea view; one morning I saw Corsica on the horizon as the sun was rising. This retreat was very special and left beautiful memories that will last for years to come. Thank you Benoît, Ali, Pily, Ronald, Claudia, Florence, and Jean!

The frog's house team really delivers a unique experience bringing the yogi spirit of presence, connection and fun to all what they do. I really enjoyed the yoga sessions with Pily and Benoit. I have never felt so relax and grounded. I was surprised about the NVC workshops. I found it really insightful. So much I am considering further looking into it and of a course in my country. The food, the surroundings, the city hopping and the people are the cherry on top. Thanks!

It was wonderful. Such a beautiful place and friendly, heartwarming and inspiring people. I loved the yoga classes, they were a new experience for me, cause every teacher had it‘s individual and special way to teach. Also the programm inbetween yoga lessons in the group was great, i loved the Workshop about nonviolent Communication. Also i had enough free time to connect with myself. I definitely will come back! A big thank you to the whole frog‘s House Team :)

A happy return to this special place, led by a very special team. We have learned so much - again - while also having the chance to explore, swim, hike, learn, question, prepare a feast under the tutelage of the chef, and relax in this stunning spot. More than a yoga retreat thanks to the mix of Benoit, Pili, Helene, Ali and the rest of the team . The other guests are a bonus! Lots of fun and lots to take away and think about between now and next time. We’ll be back ????
