However, it is important to note that students who are not citizens of the European Union or European Economic Area may be subject to different regulations regarding work permits and working hours in France.

Regarding working in other EU neighbouring countries, it depends on the regulations of the country in question. EU students are generally allowed to work without any restrictions in any other EU country while studying, but non-EU students may need to apply for a work permit or meet certain requirements before being allowed to work in another EU country.
