The JAN Voyage Guest Book
There’s something undeniably magical about sharing a journey with others, the way laughter echoes through narrow cobblestone streets, or how conversation deepens over a long meal beneath a foreign sky. Travel has a way of dissolving the ordinary boundaries between people; on the road, every shared discovery becomes a story, and every table becomes a gathering place for new connections. With JAN Voyage, these moments unfold naturally, whether it’s savouring Provençal flavours in the heart of Nice, breaking bread in the hilltop charm of Apricale, or exploring the spice-scented souks of Morocco.
Each destination brings its own rhythm, its own warmth, but it’s the shared experience that transforms a trip into a memory. Around the table, cultures meet, friendships form, and the joy of good food becomes a universal language. In these moments, the world feels smaller, more beautiful, and infinitely more connected.
“Dear Jan, Thank you for your love. Your ability to transfer that love & passion to your staff, guests and everything you touch, is phenomenal. We have been overwhelmed with your generosity, care, open heartedness and your welcoming nature. We are truly in awe of your talent, creativity & execution. It was so beautiful to watch you push boundaries — and elevate the most simple idea & setting into a gastronomic theatre. For us all, you will always be the embodiment of love to others. You audaciously opened your heart, world, life & home to all of us. We honor your vulnerability and appreciate you more than we can express.”

to the wellness experience etc were all beyond exceptional. Jan, your culinary talent paired with your genuine warmth and humility, made the experience more than just a meal – it was a journey for the senses. The entire team went above and beyond in catering to our every need with such grace and attentiveness. I feel rejuvenated, inspired and so incredibly grateful to you and everyone for all the hospitality and care.”

“Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience, which was our trip to Nice and Apricale. Everything was above expectations. The visit to the market was an amazing experience, beautifully displayed extraordinary produce, fish, meats and pastries! Dinner at JAN was the best dinner experience of my life! We were a harmonious group and fortunate to have had the amazing chef, Marnus cooking delicious food for us, Alwijn decorating our tables beautifully and Armand as our sommelier, who explained everything in an understandable way. Our cooking sessions with you were most enjoyable and thank you for
the recipes.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your amazing team once again for an absolutely phenomenal experience. I struggle to find the words every time someone asks me how my trip was, because it was simply OUT OF THIS WORLD, an indescribable experience, in the best possible way! The attention to detail was unmatched and the whole experience, so much MORE than I had expected! I knew it was going to be special, but damn, you outdid yourselves at every possible turn. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a trip of a lifetime, and for the memories that will forever be embedded in my heart.”
Judy Bloomfield | Europe May 2024
I cannot thank everyone enough for the absolute best trip! Honestly, every part of it made it special and I would not want to get lost in a medina with anyone else but all of you. (And maybe Hassan just for safety) I hope I get to see you again soon, and that we can reminisce about this time! Thank you especially to the wonderful team of Andrea, Suzie and Erin- you were amazing and I can see why the brand is a success!

I do miss our morning exercise with Suzette it’s such a good start to the day. Hope you’re all safe and well and have lots of new energy thanks to the lovely stay in Morocco. I loved it and getting to know such lovely people from South Africa and US. I hope to meet you again in South Africa, I want to test the “papsak”. Dear Jan, Suzette, Andrea and Erin thanks for this lovely discovery and here’s to the next one.
