Internship in Paris: Paris is waiting for you!
Internship in Paris — this program is aimed at students who speak French and want to gain professional experience at a French company. You can work in fields like finance, communications, marketing, law, IT, advertising, tourism, and hospitality. Internships in France are also great for students of art, fashion, and gastronomy — after all, these are the areas that helped make France famous around the world. Applications are open year-round, but to secure a spot we recommend applying at least 3–6 months before your program start date. You’ll have the chance to live in Paris for 2–6 months and see how a French company operates from the inside. Internships shorter than 2 months are usually unpaid; for placements of 2 months or more, compensation can start at €600 per month.
