This seems unbelievable coming from France where most internships are usually pais between 500€ to maybe 1k/1.5k€ per month...

I'm going to be looking for an internship somewhere next year, maybe I should be going in the US !

That's a general problem in Europe. Software engineering professionals are paid a fraction of what their colleagues earn in the US, especially in Silicon Valley. I think the cause is simply that European companies haven't worked out how to create comparable value as SV from software engineering, so of course they can't afford to pay the engineers as well. And then they complain of the brain drain towards the US.
