The Frog'S House is set in the charming, typically Provençal French village of Saint-Jeannet, at the foot of the Mediterranean hill known as “Baou”. Just 15 km from Nice Côte d’Azur and the French Riviera, its peaceful, relaxing location at an altitude of 450 metres offers magnificent views of the Mediterranean and pleasant temperatures in the height of summer.

A generous breakfast or brunch is served daily. On Mondays, enjoy a homemade picnic lunch; lunch is also provided on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Fridays depending on the programme (see programme). All dinners are included, except on Thursdays, when they are at your own expense. During the week, there is a cookery class on mindful vegetarian cooking, as well as a welcome dinner and a farewell dinner. All meals are predominantly local, organic and vegetarian, with vegan options also available.
