If you're visiting France and you're not a citizen of an EU country, your visits may be limited by the '90 day rule' - here's how it works, what changes under EES border checks and how to calculate your trips so that you don't overstay your allowance. For example, if you spent 85 days in France and then travelled to Spain for a fortnight, that would take you over your 90-day allowance because both France and Spain are Schengen zone countries. For the dates when your visa is valid, your trips to France do not count towards your 90-day allowance - but trips to any other EU/Schengen zone country still count towards that 90-day allowance.
