  Descrição

  Hello!
  
  We’re a French-English family living in a peaceful village in the heart of the Dordogne countryside in south-west France. We run a small, family-owned restaurant with guest rooms from our home, and are looking for an experienced, energetic, reliable, and motivated person to join us for summer 2027.
  
  We are looking for someone with an excellent level of both English and French, who enjoys hospitality, working with people, and being part of a small hands-on team. The role would involve helping with the day-to-day running of the restaurant and guest accommodation, welcoming guests, service, and general support during our busiest months.
  
  Our restaurant is intimate, relaxed, and focused on quality, warmth, and creating a memorable experience for guests, and has earned itself a great reputation. We are looking for somebody positive, adaptable, hard-working, and independent, who enjoys rural life and doesn’t mind busy summer evenings.
  
  Life here is beautiful, calm, rural, and surrounded by nature — perfect if you enjoy the outdoors, walking, countryside life, and slower living. As we are in a very rural area, having your own transport would be a big advantage so you can explore the region and enjoy your free time independently.
  
  In exchange, you’ll experience authentic French country living, improve your language skills, discover one of the most beautiful regions of France, and become part of our family for the summer.
  
  If you think you could be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!
  
  Gemma, Raphaël & 8-year-old Louis
