3 months contract without work visa for Indian?

Hello DD! This information comes from service-public.fr:

Foreigners (except for citizens of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco, Saint Martin) who enter France to take paid employment, must hold a working permit (also called permis de travail). Otherwise he/she can not be hired. The work permit may be in the form of either a visa or a residence permit. Penalties may apply if an illegal worker is employed.

In general, except from counties mentioned above, a visa is required to enter France. Maybe it's best to ask your employer which kind of visa you should apply for. Hope it helps. Good luck!

First of thank you so much Jessiiiiie__ for your reply , it's much appreciated.
I had a  talk with French Consulate here, they told me I may require a Shengen visa. Post that I wrote to my employer and they replied with "France exempt visa in some area and production (cinema and animated movie) are in the list." , I work in vfx and animation field. They also provided an official document for this but it's in french which title reads "Décrets, arrêtés, circulaires, TEXTES GÉNÉRAUX".

I looked up on internet and it's this doc : http://www.directeurdeproduction.com/do … RAVAIL.pdf
