Fred Sirieix challenges a group of youngsters at a crossroads in their lives to run a luxury, five-star hotel in the south of France. Across a stressful summer season, the contestants compete in a variety of demanding challenges, exposing them to all that the land of lavish luxury has to offer, as well as the exacting standards expected of those serving the super-rich. At the end of the series, one person will win a life-changing job for an international hotel group.

The recruits are tasked with transforming the hotel's pétanque court into an events space suitable for hosting one of the region's leading fashion designers.
