Chers Corinne et Benoit,

Bonne Annee aussi!

When Zoe and I visited you back in 2007, we too were passionate about commencing our own retreat/hospitality business back in Australia (with the add-on of also commencing a sister property in France).
We built the business plan, found the location, and were ready to buy the property, but alas, we fell pregnant and our new son, Etienne, has taken over our lives.
We cannot thank you enough for sending us through your annual updates and New Years messages. It pleases us greatly that you have both achieved great things, from turning the run-down hotel into a wonderful holiday/tourism business which offers so much more than just a hotel would.
We still plan to fulfill our dream and start our business, but just not for the immediate future. We are also planning to visit France (either this year or next year) and we would love to visit "The Frogs House" again (this time with Etienne).
We still have very fond memories of St Jeannet, as I trust many other visitors from around the world do too - and it's all thanks to you both.

Please continue your great work as long as you can, even if it is sometimes relentless. The types of travel experiences you provide are very few and far between, and you should be extremely proud of what you have and are achieving. Your video is part of your legacy - Part of travelling is about "stopping to smell the roses", so thank you again for holding this in high regard in your business.

Our warmest wishes for 2012,

Zoe and Jean-Christophe Meunier (+ Etienne Luc)

Joan and I are still thrilled that we were able to stay at your Auberge in late October 2011, albeit for but three nights. The place, the town of St. Jeannet, its access to regional "tourist" sites, were all fantastic. And did I mention the food, and Corrine's yogurt and jams (which we're still using) ... wonderful!! It was lovely to meet you, and we wanted to thank you for all your help and chit chat. It made our stay in the region one of the best things about our trip, even though being at the very end.

It has been 2 years since my visit to this amazing place. Corrine and Benoit are the most genuine hosts. I can still hear his cheerful translations (my mother, grandmother and I only speak English) and smell Corrrine's mushroom risotto. The atmosphere, the views, the feel of the "local" village - all amazing. I spent 10 more days in France, and Italy but they did not compare the the feeling here. A destination I long to return to.

"A small intimate auberge, clean and comfortable with all the essentials - bedside reading lights, well equipped bathrooms etc... tucked in the hillside, away from the hubbub of the coast. You can see the Mediterranean in the distance. Hosts Benoit and Corinne are a delight. We indulged in the results of Corinne's cooking instruction to fellow guests, and heard about Benoit's great tour of Nice's old city. We would love to visit again."

Hello Corinne and Benoit

What a wonderfull experience to stay in Frogs House and beeing together with you two and the whole company in the Franco -Danish Festival.
Starting the mornings with friendly serving and overwhelming breakfast.
Every day a new joy - and the cooking of Corinne: just marvelous.
It has become a sort of getting into the habit to stay in St. Jeannet in Frogs House and we certainly will be back! Allready looking forward. Thank you both so much.
Elsebeth and Henning

Eight Irish women arrived for two friend's 40th birthdays and what a time we had in Saint-Jeannete. Corrine and Benoit were fabulous hosts at the The Frog House and what a hospitable couple they were. Nothing was to much trouble. It was heaven to wake up with such breath taking views of an authentic French Village. A place that everyone should visit. Great restaurants and lovely helpful people. Although we were a bit noisy, no one seemed to mind and gave us a great time. The FROG house is the place to stay and you will have great time and want to return. Thank you Corrine and Benoit just sorry we did not stay longer but we will be back.

Hi Benoit, We arrived safely home yesterday. That was the vacation of a lifetime! The day we spent with you was definitely the highlight for us. We met so many wonderful people and you were the most delightful tour guide of the many we had. Thanks for being so informative and hospitable. We will never forget the time we spent in your beautiful homeland. Every time we ran into Wendy, Marty, and Deborah and Jonathan we commented on what a perfect tour we had in Nice.

Thank you again for being so charming.
Donna and John

My wife and I (with two other couples) had a terrific stay at The Frog's House. I had read previous favorable Trip Advisor reviews and saw the recommendation in the Rick Steves book so I was looking forward to the visit. It exceeded our expectations.

Saint-Jeannet is a town of about 4,000 with an old village above the town proper. The Frog's House is located in the center of the old village. Be sure to carefully follow the driving & parking instructions posted on the Frog's House website when you arrive. The old village of Saint-Jeannet is not a big tourist attraction but it is truly a beautiful, charming community with terrific views, great restaurants and a genuine small, French village experience. It appears to be popular with the locals but undiscovered by most tourists.

Corrine & Benoit are young, energetic, interesting and extremely hospitable with a lovely home. They made all of us feel welcome immediately and did everything possible to ensure all their guests enjoyed their stay. Our group agreed, the dinner they prepared for us was the best dinner we had during our two week stay in France & Italy. The atmosphere is relaxed, the views from the south side rooms are spectacular and the home is comfortable, with several nice amenities. Reaching tourist spots along the Cote d' Azur or in the nearby villages is easy by car or bus from Saint-Jeannet. The bus stops in the nearby parking lot for the old village.

Staying at the Frog's House was a great experience and the highlight of our trip. You can't go wrong with Corrine and Benoit as your hosts
