Interns exploring Paris, France

Overview

The world's most romantic country — and its capital of style.

France is home to countless cultural institutions and historic buildings, with world-class art and architecture — from the Louvre to Renaissance châteaux and Roman temples — spread across the whole country.

French sophistication shows up in fashion and cuisine alike. Paris is the world's fashion capital, home to Chanel, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Guerlain, Lancôme, L'Oréal and Clarins — and French restaurants hold more Michelin stars than any others.

French companies also hold key positions in insurance and banking: AXA is the world's largest insurer, while BNP Paribas and Crédit Agricole rank among the world's largest banks.

*Applicants are required to have at least a B1 level of French.
