IB in Paris without speaking French

I am a prospective international student in a target business school in Paris, I am now trying to decide wether it makes sense to apply.

I would like to do an internship in IB in Paris after I graduate but I keep getting contrasting information about the possibility to work there without a fluency in French (I am B1/B2 at the moment). I heard that after brexit it's more doable but I see on LinkedIn that most people in BB in Paris either are French or are fluent in French.

What do you think?
