Is it possible to sign a convention de stage for an internship in France?

I am a new student, yet to start my first module. I was hoping to do an internship in France, and my understanding was that this was possible, I even found some instructions, and a template of the agreement the OU provides:

https://help.open.ac.uk/work-experience/finding-applying-for-opportunities
https://opportunityhub.open.ac.uk/students/infopages/detail/24

I cannot access the second link, apparently because my module has not started. Fair.

However, I received a reply from the internships team, telling me the OU does not sign ´convention de stage´ because internships are not compulsory.

This is of course completely contradictory.

Anyone has actually done this in the past, and can advise? Is signing a ´convention de stage´ possible?

Any first'--hand experience answer highly appreciated!
