“It is a job where the human is paramount, especially in a small, very close team like the Grand Barrail. Ingenuity, responsiveness and a sense of detail are essential to achieve excellence and meet customer requirements. It is a great pride to be able to work in one of the few luxury castles in the Bordeaux region but also to have the confidence of my managers who leave me great autonomy and real responsibility.”
“The courses we take at the Luxury Hotelschool hotel school are very important, especially those on management and leadership. This allows me today to apply these theories in the field to manage housewives and collaborate in harmony with other departments. The seminars and experiences of luxury that we have the opportunity to live thanks to LH in the palaces also enabled me to acquire, before this internship, the sense of detail, rigor and seriousness required in the world of luxury as well as grooming and know-how, essential in the hospitality industry.”
At the end of his internship and after obtaining his Bachelor's degree, Maxence will continue at LH in Master with the final objective of starting his professional career as governor.
