Feedback from employees who worked at the Sunêlia Interlude campsite
Adèle, assistant spa manager
What motivated you to work at Interlude?
I was looking for a place to practice my profession as a beautician with a heavenly workplace and a family atmosphere
What did your experience at the Sunêlia Interlude campsite and more specifically at Beauté & Spa bring you?
On a professional level, self-confidence. With my role as assistant spa manager, I was able to have responsibilities. On a personal level, calm and perspective on things and patience.
What if you told us an anecdote?
It's not really an anecdote but more of a fact that could make other people want to come and work. The living environment is really ideal in summer, the weather is nice and warm, the sunsets are magnificent, life in Retaise is very nice and I have met lots of wonderful people. That’s also why I come back!
Dimitri, assistant housekeeper
First season in 2021 as a hygiene officer for a summer job without really knowing the outdoor hospitality sector then finally we get a taste for it and above all we become attached to the team. And here I am again in 2022, for a longer season as assistant housekeeper. Two seasons that taught me a lot, both in terms of professional skills, that’s for sure. But above all on myself, especially self-confidence.
The working environment is idyllic (a real pleasure to swim during the lunch break), the work is certainly intense but very rewarding. The main asset for me of the Sunelia Interlude remains the team cohesion. The mutual assistance between the different departments and the very human side of each person is very appreciable in this type of profession.
It is an establishment with great values, passionate managers who are interested in their staff and who are enormously involved in the life of the campsite.
Good prospects for development are possible.
My personal projects meant that I had to leave this campsite (one thing is certain, tears were shed) but it would have been with great pleasure to sign for an additional season.
Big up to the hygiene service, the best service
Louna, trainee assistant housekeeper
During my 5-month final year internship (March to July 2023 then on a fixed-term contract for the months of August and September) I worked as an Assistant Housekeeper at Camping Sunelia Interlude.
I had the opportunity to cultivate various skills such as management, team roadmap management, inventory management, etc.
This experience considerably enriched my professional background.
During this period, I refined my observation skills and strengthened my rigor, evolving within a team imbued with human warmth and kindness.
I recommend this company for these qualities of listening and mutual assistance.
Chloé, waitress at La Grillérade restaurant
Chloé has supported us for the 2023 season.
I loved working with the La Grillérade team last summer (2023). You have all been great trainers, very friendly and understanding. The team was great! I strengthened my relationships and working in a team. I learned a lot in the catering field on all aspects and it was very enriching. I obviously recommend this experience.
Unfortunately I won't be able to come back for the 2024 season but if I have the opportunity to do another season, I would be delighted!
Gabriel, teen and evening entertainer
Gabriel worked with us for the 2023 season alongside his partner Amély (who was in his 2nd season with us):
Working as a teen and evening entertainer at the Sunêlia Interlude campsite was an incredible experience for me.
This entertainment profession is also a profession of personal enrichment. In addition to the creative side (regarding the creation of animations to please as many people as possible!), it is above all a job where you have to know how to adapt. With all these assets and these qualities combined, this is where we can exert ourselves fully and I think that this is how we were able to best seduce the public we had in front of us!
The experience was rich in encounters and I think that Amély and I brought as much to the teenagers as they did to us! Joy, good humor and mutual respect. If this season had to be done again, I would do it again without a doubt and without changing anything!
Teams attentive and available, we had a super pleasant working environment in addition to the beautiful landscapes that surrounded us. A top campsite that seduced me.
Gabriel continues his journey as an independent journalist.
Céline, host then entertainment manager
Arriving in 2010 as a host for one season, then one thing after another, she returns year after year to the Sunêlia Interlude campsite. When her mentor Sylvain left, she succeeded him as entertainment manager in the summer and communications in the winter. A beautiful adventure, filled with memories, which ends in 2018 so that Céline can flourish in an area that is particularly close to her heart: well-being.
At the time, what motivated me to work at Sunelia interlude was Sylvain, my animation manager from the previous season, who convinced me to follow him on a second professional adventure! On a professional level, the experience is above all human and ultra all-terrain! I loved taking on 1000 professions in one and seeing life seen through the prism of holidays, moments of reunion, human warmth and celebration! On a personal level, this period allowed me to meet more people and refine my sense of showmanship! Currently, I remain a presenter at heart but I am now a well-being communications consultant and young author. For the record I would say: now I know how to make candy bars and poodles in balloons and I always look at the mascots with a lot of love knowing the number of I love yous we receive in them.
Work-study 1 year at the reception of the Sunêlia Interlude campsite
A few sentences to describe my work-study year at the Sunêlia Interlude campsite:
I would say rewarding because you have the opportunity to touch everything, to learn from each other's experiences, but above all because the location of the establishment allows you to meet people from everywhere!
Then I would say trainer, a year in the outdoor hotel industry allows you to know the low and high season. Thus we discover the two aspects of the profession which are so different but very complementary.
Finally, I would say cohesive, because yes Interlude is a big family. All departments help each other, and in these special times, without cohesion there is no team! Thank you Interlude for this accomplished year !
Médéric, assistant room manager
Tell us about your experience at Sunêlia Interlude...
Thank you for thinking of me, I’m flattered. So for what motivated me to work at Sunêlia, it's simple: my family was a customer of the campsite for several years, I always lived around the campsite in the summer and I always appreciated the atmosphere. who reigns there. So, when I had the opportunity to come and work there with Antony at the time, I jumped at the chance for the reasons mentioned above but also because I was close to my grandmother's place! Then on a professional level, Sunêlia obviously gave me experience but also a form of serenity and self-confidence in what I was doing because at Sunelia we very quickly become comfortable. All the campsite services are there for that too, we are like a big family but while of course being professional. I'm currently working on my gaming desk on Twitch you can come follow my channel #Medeziak. No more seriously, I still plan to work in catering in the future. And as an anecdote there are so many, if I had to advertise I would say come and see!
Morgane, communications and events manager
Participating in the creation of stays at Interlude is a complete and enriching professional and personal challenge. Being fully involved is the opportunity to discover the different faces of the outdoor hotel industry, which is what I particularly liked: the diversity of the missions. It’s always rewarding and motivating to join a team that gives you the opportunity to grow! In a year and a half I have gained a lot of experience, my customer relations have clearly improved as well as my confidence in myself and in my work. Which will be useful to me in the rest of my journey.
