Is it feasible to get an IB internship in France while studying a semester abroad?

Hi!, I’m going on a semester abroad (probably 1 year) in Fall to either ESSEC or ESCP. I am from a target school in a Latin American country. But I was eager to know if there is any chance that I could land an internship while being there. I do speak french but only at an intermediate-advanced level (B2). What are your thoughts? Any piece of advice you could give me?
