Yes. A student residence permit lets you work without a separate work permit, but you are limited to a maximum of 964 hours per year (about 60% of full-time legal working hours).
Holding a student long-stay visa (VLS-TS etudiant) or student card gives you the right to work in France alongside your studies without needing a separate work authorisation. The legal cap is 964 hours over a 12-month period, which works out to roughly 60% of the annual full-time working time in France.
This allowance is meant to supplement, not replace, your studies and your proof of financial means. Working beyond the 964-hour limit can put your permit at risk, so you should keep track of your hours and treat employment as part-time income while you remain enrolled.
