Description
in 2024
We are a long-established schools' language and activity centre in the heart of the Mayenne countryside. We offer fully-catered school trips to both English and French schools and also summer camps to French children. We are always on the lookout for people with catering and housekeeping experience to help prepare and serve meals in our kitchens, or to make sure the dormitories and client areas are clean and tidy! We offer at least the minimum wage for France, 2 days off per week plus free accommodation and meals if you need it. Get in touch if you fancy a few weeks as part of our friendly team :-)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a bilingual team and operate in both English and French - so there's a chance to practice without feeling like there's nobody to talk to - whether you speak English or French! We are located outside a beautiful French village with crêperie and bar and you can be put on the car insurance if you have been driving for 3 years or more. We employ local staff so there's good inlets into the local community too.
