Answer 1

French law allows international students to work no more than 884 hours in a given year if they have a residency permit and are enrolled in an institution that participates in the student health plan of the French social protection system (Sécurité Sociale). Participating institutions include all universities, most schools of engineering and business, some schools of French as a foreign language (such as the Alliance Française of Paris for programs of 3 months or more).

You will need a written offer of employment when you apply for temporary employment authorization, which you must do before working with a student visa.
