FRANCE is world-renowned for its rich history and spectacular cuisine. The landscape ranges from the high cliffs and rocky beaches in the north, to the resorts of the Rivera in the south. France’s beautiful countryside is abundant with vineyards and farms. Cosmopolitan cities and quaint towns make France a diverse country ripe in culture and charm.
In France, you can intern in two lovely but very different places: Aix-en-Provence (pop. 150,000) is an ancient spa and university town in the heart of Provence, known for its rich architectural heritage. During the summer months, Aix-en- Provence hosts at least four festivals including the famous International Arts and Music Festival every July.
The other location is Bordeaux, which has excellent museums, vibrant nightlife and beaches nearby. The combination of wide avenues and neoclassical architecture to the well maintained parks give the city a 18th-century type grandeur and the 60,000 university students make this city an excellent place to sample French life.
Internships are available for both shorter-term (minimum 4 weeks) and long-term commitments depending on your French, prior education and/or work experience. You may request the sector where you’d like to work. Some examples are: Tourism, social work, marketing, advertising, handicrafts, banking and agriculture.
