Internships in Château d’Orion
head and hand
we are looking for interns for the new season
This is not an internship like any other, it is under the maxim of thinking and doing. Like everyone at Château d'Orion, we subordinate ourselves to this maxim in order to unite heart and mind for the sake of the vision. You want to reorient yourself, get to know a cultural and guest house in the southwest of France or are looking for a "working holiday" on another star?
Château d'Orion is once again looking for energetic support for the new season. The tasks are as multifaceted as Château d'Orion itself. Marketing, independent project development are just as much in demand as service and guest care or gardening
