What Our Students Say About Us
The property I got was very nice. The staff and chef were really good and treated me well. If we used to do any mistakes the chef used to explain us again and trained us well. I learnt many desserts and cooked different types of Meats. Being a vegetarian I didn’t get any issue with the food as the hotel used to cook Veg Food just for me. On weekends, we used to meet and cook together Indian food like Parathas, chicken curry. I thank ALZEA for the property and even receiving our calls on weekends, a bit late, but always helped us.

The opportunity of doing an internship in France and learning of the amazing french culture and language is something that I would always cherish in my life.
I was introduced to the real french gastronomy which motivated me to give my 100 percent at my work. My colleagues and seniors taught me a lot of things of the hotel industry and motivated me always to work better.
I made some really good friends who were very helpful and always supportive during my work in the hotel.
The hotel was like my home(Jiva Hill Hotel) and I have amazing memories working in the hotel right from the General Manager to the Gardener, they were all amazing.
We also managed to look around the beautiful cities of France and Switzerland from Lyon, Geneva to Paris.
I am really grateful to ALZEA that you gave me this lifetime opportunity and that I am completely happy with my internship experience. Thank you so much.

I'm Aarushi Agrawal, currently in 3rd year studying Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and management at Auro University, Surat. With the aid of Alzea, I found a placement at Hotel Du Parc, Restaurants & Spa for six months.Initially I faced certain problems due to language barriers as my hotel only communicated in French. But with constantly striving to improve myself, after a month I could understand all that I was asked to do and after two months had started to communicate in French. According to my preference, I worked in two departments i.e Food and Beverage and Housekeeping. All the supervisors at my departments were really helpful and always encouraged to give best. In order to give your best in 6 months, you need to be patient to deal with barriers and constantly strive for best.

My internship programme experience was amazing, hotel staff and owners were so friendly and helpful, i learned a lot about french cuisine and culture. My sincere regards to Jeff, Mathias, Morgane and Mr Santini and entire staff. He took care of me like a daughter and also presented me a return gift. Morgane took good care of me, taught me french and even took me along for trips. I miss them a lot and wish to work there again in baking and patisserie.
This was my first solo experience, i travelled learn and enjoyed so much.

I thank ALZEA for the property I got. It was very good and I learnt a lot. It was a great learning experience. I used to feel lonely as there aren’t many people around, but it’s because of the livelihood there.I got lucky with the language as the staff spoke English, but I recommend others to learn the language, as it will be helpful. I highly recommend my property and even ALZEA for doing an International Internship.

It was my dream once to be able to come to France and explore the french culture. France is a land of endless opportunities, new experiences, unexpected feelings, unexplored places, people and food but yet still to learn a lot from this new adventurous journey.
I came to France to work as an intern in kitchen at Best Western Plus Hotel, Paris 6 months ago and this beautiful journey is about to come to an end in the next 15 days. This journey taught me something new every single day. In the beginning there were times when I felt homesick for my parents or food but I never felt myself alone when I had such great co-workers with me. My Head Chef is a great person at heart who always taught me to face hurdles with ease and laughter. He made me feel comfortable with the work environment and always came up with new techniques to enhance my culinary skills. There were times when I made mistakes and my chef was always there to correct me. I am filled with gratitude to be a member of this family where everyone is ready to sacrifice for each other. My chef always said one thing that together we can achieve anything. This always motivated me to work more and give my best I can. My chef has always been an inspiration to me and I feel destined to get an opportunity to work with such mentor.
I would like to explore more such opportunities in future and thank my colleagues and the hotel who have made me perfect in all possible ways. Also I would like to thank ALZEA for helping me fulfill my dream and supporting me throughout my internship.
