The frogs’ house is a yoga retreat centre in the enchanting medieval village of Saint-Jeannet in the south of France. Perched on the foothills of the Southern Alps, it offers breathtaking views of the French Riviera. We offer week-long all-inclusive yoga retreats led by Benoit, who grew up in the village, throughout most of the year. At the frogs’ house, first and foremost, we invite you to slow down, to take a step back from the habits and reflexes of the day-to-day, and to make space for yourself. Rest is the primary effect of coming to a retreat here. But a retreat here is also a holiday, to discover the delights of this beautiful part of the world, hikes and sumptuous picnics in the local "Baou" overlooking the Mediterranean, farm to plate organically grown local produce, wine, a French cooking course, and much much more...

Benoit grew up playing with his friends in the village and the amazing huge playground that is its surrounding hills and valleys. Some of those friends are part of the team looking after you during your retreat. Benoit relishes showing his part of the world to his guests. Since having trained as a yoga teacher, he has infused his authentic Southern French hospitality, with the teachings of the ancient discipline: inviting the guests to really be in the present moment and savour everything that is on offer mindfully and holistically.

The frogs' house is situated in the very centre of the charming and peaceful medieval village of Saint-Jeannet in the South of France. Perched at the foot of the Mediterranean cliffs, locally called “Baou”, Saint-Jeannet is the kind of place where people leave their front doors and cars unlocked, and where children play in the main village square in total safety. Here, you'll feel the real vibe of an authentic French village, where everyone says "Bonjour" to you even if they've never met you. Here, we have an organic farm, two organic biodynamic wine producers, a farm to bar chocolate workshop, a beekeeper, two authentic French bakers one of whom makes exclusively organic sourdough bread (and pizzas to die for), a cheese-maker, an even a kefir fermenter!!! We serve all their produce on our retreats! In addition to yoga and meditation, our retreats include hikes in the local hills and valleys, wild river swimming, trips to the local art attractions, to name but a few. You can also access: horse-riding, snorkelling, zip-lining, perfume-making, glass-blowing, or indeed, a private spa, just to rest and refresh. We are only 15 kilometres away from Nice Côte d’Azur airport and the French Riviera. Yet it is so much quieter and more relaxing here than the hustle on the beach! At 450 meters of altitude, you will have breathtaking views of the Mediterranean sea and the Côte d’Azur all the way from the Italian border to Saint-Tropez. To the North and East lie the majestic French Alps - you can ski an hour and a half’s drive away from here! - and to the West, their rolling foothills and low-lying mountain ranges trickle into the Mediterranean, setting the scene for spectacular and all-so-varied sunsets year round. Its height above the sea makes for a pleasant moderate temperature here even in the middle of the summer, and we have plenty of sunshine all through the year.
