Internship in Nice — Mediterranean lifestyle, Riviera business
Twenty minutes from Nice sits Sophia Antipolis, the largest tech park in Europe — 2,500 companies, 38,000 employees and the European HQs of IBM, Amadeus, SAP and Air France. Add 300 days of sun, the Promenade des Anglais and a 30-minute hop to Monaco.
