Tom, Paddle Sports Instructor
I feel privileged to be able to offer the guests the opportunity to see the Ardeche river for the first time while guiding them safely, sharing my knowledge of the surrounding area. Working here is more than just a job for me; its about working with others that share my passion for nature and hopefully inspiring our young guests to care more for their surroundings.
Louise, General Manager
Our outdoor paradise provides the opportunity to experience exhilarating activities that push limits and create lifetime memories for both our guests and colleagues. As centre manager, I am privileged to watch individuals grow and gain new skills. The team here is enthusiastic to create a love of adventure, build confidence and have fun in the sun with those that join us whether that be for week, as a guest, or as a colleague for a season.
Alisa, Catering Manager
I have 20 years of catering experience, and have been with PGL for two years. The best part of my job is making guests happy through food when they have finished a busy day on the river. I have met lots of new people, and we have a family feel to our centre.
Rob, Administrator
I am responsible for taking care of finance and HR administration – so at the heart the centre’s operations. The Ardèche is beautiful and working here is a privilege. At PGL there’s room for initiative and appreciation for efforts, and it’s great to meet new people and make new friends.
Max, Group Leader
I am a student from the Netherlands who is doing an internship with PGL. I wanted to do something to help kids have a great experience overseas, so here we are! Working as a Group Leader in the Ardeche is truly a marvel of an experience. The area is incredible, and being able to show it to the guests is a whole adventure.
