Frequently Asked Questions about Internships in France

The cost of living in France for an Erasmus student or intern varies by city. For instance, Paris can range from €1,200 to €1,800 per month, while smaller cities like Lyon, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Toulouse generally range from €800 to €1,000 per month. More affordable areas might cost around €650 monthly​

Interns in France are generally entitled to compensation if the internship lasts more than two months. The exact stipend can vary depending on the company and industry, with larger companies often paying more than startups. However, all internships longer than two months must at least pay a minimum allowance as regulated by the French government​

Non-EU/EEA citizens typically require a visa to intern in France. The type of visa depends on the duration and nature of the internship. It’s advisable to consult the French embassy or consulate in your home country for specific requirements.

While knowing French is advantageous, there are internships available for English speakers, especially in multinational companies and certain industries like tech and tourism.

Many interns take the opportunity to improve their French through formal classes or immersion. Some internship programs may even offer language courses as part of the internship package.

France is generally considered safe for residents and visitors. Standard precautions should be taken, especially in tourist-heavy and urban areas, to safeguard against petty crime such as pickpocketing.

Erasmus Internhips Placement Year - Mohit Khanwani Kewlani
Mohit Khanwani KewlaniFounder - Samskara food for thought
Overall, I found the course very interesting and informative. From learning about digital marketing to sales and business development, the course gave me an insight into how startups, like the one I am working for, function and differ from the larger companies. I found especially useful the tasks which had to be completed for the upcoming meeting. This allowed me to understand the basics of a topic before the meeting so that by the time of the meeting I would understand the vast majority of what was being discussed, with the team explaining thoroughly some of the harder concepts. I would recommend this course to any university student interested in working for a startup, whether it is in the UK or abroad, to familiarize themselves with how startups work.

theInterna has been very helpful with not only finding me a valuable internship in a Spain but also by providing a crash course into the world of start-ups that means I can provide more value to the company I’ll be working for. The course content was perfectly balanced between concepts, tools, and practical exercises. I feel ready to hit the ground running!

theInterna has been a true revelation. Their service is extremely professional and without them it would have been impossible for us to identify highly qualified interns. They facilitated the process, making it easy to find the right match and without their support we wouldn’t have taken into consideration finding an intern. The Interna combines extraordinary human and professional competence and are the perfect partner to accompany a Start Up or small company on their path to growth. We have already recommended The Interna to other companies and friends and will absolutely continue doing so.

The Strategy, Sales and Digital Marketing course ran by theInterna has been truly amazing. Packed with content, diagrams and links to external platforms, I have learnt so many new things and it has broadened my areas of interest. I now feel much better equipped and have formed more of an idea of my career path when I graduate. theInterna also set me up with a brilliant internship in Spain, providing a flawless process from the initial call through to securing the placement, and it has been a pleasure having the agency as a point of contact. Without a doubt I would recommend theInterna.

Hannah KenyonStudent - University of Leeds
Outstanding training and support provided by theInterna. The training comprised a variety of invaluable resources, presented clearly and concisely, with a good mixture of videos, articles and exercises to put our knowledge into practice. The calls were useful to consolidate what I’d learnt over the week and get clarity on anything I was unsure of. Not only do I feel better equipped to begin my internship, but I feel inspired to create my own startup in the near future!
Erasmus Internhips Placement Year Reviews - Hannah Yates
Hannah YatesStudent - Cardiff University
It is easy to develop knowledge of the day-to-day operations of a company and how to be an efficient worker through an internship, and this experience counts as the backbone of what a placement year will provide you with. However, the bare minimum often isn’t enough anymore and employers value students that go the extra mile more than ever. This course is the icing on the cake. It does a fantastic job of going beyond what will be experienced on the daily and truly delves deep into the theories propping up current day startups. Be it through developing my knowledge of marketing, sales or even simply setting up a strong network of connections, I have come out of this course with far more depth of knowledge surrounding the professional world.

the Interna is a fantastic organisation which feels so tailor made to your needs: you get a consultation call with theInterna to help you find the best option for an internship. The new Interna training course is an amazing free add on to boost business skills and add to your CV.

Imogen BarrettStudent - Oxford
I personally believe that this course was so beneficial for me whilst also on my placement. Joining a Start-up can be very fast-paced sometimes, and you often have to learn on the job. Doing this course alongside my job allowed me to learn some valuable skills that I needed in future weeks! What I liked most was the flexibility of the course, there were lots of resources that you could use, but if you did not have enough time, there were summary pages that were clear and concise! It as a great and very interesting course.
