Just outside the French town of Ebblinghem in the Nord Pas de Calais region the Château is set in four hectares of private grounds surrounded by countryside. If you don’t fancy spending your day off snuggled up in front of the TV in the staff room then there is plenty to keep you busy.
Located between Hazebrouck and St Omer (approx 10 minutes drive) Hazebrouck offers great transport links to Lille and Paris. Now we all know what wonders Paris has to offer but Lille is a focal city of northern France and a popular tourist destination with shops, cafes and restaurants. There are also great cycle tracks from the centre if you are feeling energetic.
Colleague facilities include: Colleague lounge with TV/DVD player and Freeview, onsite bar and games room, various sports facilities including floodlit football pitches, volleyball court and boules area, bikes for colleague use, laundrette, gym equipment and wi-fi.

I have been working with PGL for the last three years. I really appreciate the way PGL looks after their people – they respect the diversity, offering opportunity for everyone to grow and develop their skills.

Sammy, Group Co-ordinator
I joined PGL in February 2023, and since then I have been lucky enough to work with a friendly, diverse team. We respect each other and in our free time sometimes we go out fishing, bowling and to restaurants. I like my job because when the new guests arrive, it’s a new challenge. I can share my French knowledge, show them the region and help improve their language skills by speaking to them in French.
