They do seem excellent there. I mean they advertise " which will open from September 2012 (...)." at the top of the webpage, and they (already) have a "Alumnis' Testimonies" topic at the bottom of the same page.
I am from France (just look at the way I write in English to realize that), and I cast much doubt any education institution here arrange trainings in banks for students in the sense you would like to be. Right, it is likely their "Bureau des relations entreprises" send you out emails with classifieds. But, that would be classifieds anyone can access to on the internet (iquesta, master-emploi ....).
Obviously, they will not let you down as their reputation and future streams of revenues are at stake when 'caring' students. Thus, they will remind you quite regularly that you that internship is part of the program, and promote the ones that already signed up with a bank whereas you haven't yet (this is supposed to support de facto followers ...).
Btw, is there any active finance industry in France? No. And, why would a bank in the U.K, Germany (...) would have a preference for a student from a master 1 or master 2 program over a 'local' student?
Be careful with the mention "cercle des Grandes Écoles". French education institutions struggle really hard to be stamped as such. Anyway, if it is not in the say top 3, no recruiter cares. I mean it.
Make a difference between an Université, and an École.
Another thing you have to be careful of is the notion of "master" in France: Mastère Spécialisé (MS) or Master of Science (MSc)?
And, a final point is that there are really excellent MSc at some public universities in France (very good and strangely very cheap) whereas there are 'good' MSc in private 'schools' (good, but really expensive to be honest).
I am not saying the program you ask about in the school you ask about isn't good (despite the cynical comment I made at the beginning of my reply). I am saying be aware that everyting is complicated in France. Everything.
