France

An internship of up to 6 months, with a stipend, in the houses that gave the palace hotel its name. You learn the craft at the source, and we take care of the rest.

Why France

The line that carries the most weight on a hotel CV.

The birthplace of grand service

The art of hospitality was written here, from Parisian salons to great dining rooms. You learn it where it all began.

Three backdrops in one country

Paris, the Riviera, the Alps: every season has its stage. You change scenery without ever changing country.

Life the French way

A pavement café after service, the Sunday morning market. Daily life here has as much flavour as the craft.

Brigades from around the world

You look after guests from everywhere, in French and in English. Two languages that sharpen with every shift.

Not to be missed

Your days off have plans of their own.

Paris

A museum in the morning, a terrace at night, zinc rooftops as far as the eye can see.

The cliffs of Étretat, the arch and the needle above the sea.

The cliffs of Étretat

White chalk, the arch, the needle: an hour on foot high above the sea.

Snowy peaks above summer pastures.

The Alps

Summits in winter, mountain pastures in summer, crisp air all year round.

The best window

All year round

The weather

Every season has its backdrop, from the Riviera to the Alps.

The crowds

Paris never sleeps, the seasons share the rest.
