I vote for France. The internship sounds rather blah. Sure, you'd learn the ropes, but you'd be getting rather mundane experience that any number of other people in your field possess. The study in France will expose you not just to the courses you'd be taking but to different perspectives and experiences and would distinguish you from "the pack" when looking for a job. And since the company is owned by a friend of your mother's, it's entirely likely that the internship would still be available when you get back from France. I'm with Cynthetiq - going abroad for education/work is invaluable and irreplaceable. Internships are a dime a dozen.
