The processing time is different for each country and consulate where you might apply.

For India, the official French government web site advises:

  • For short-stay visas, if you hold an Indian passport and are born in India, you must submit your application a minimum of 5 days prior to your scheduled departure. However, the processing time to issue a visa is 48 hours in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Puducherry and 78 hours in other cases.
  • If you submit your application in Kathmandu, you must submit it a minimum of 15 days bprior to your scheduled departure.

You can not submit an application more than 3 months before the scheduled departure.

You should submit your application as soon as possible, and not wait until the last minute. If there are delays in processing the visa application, you might miss your departure.

You can track the status of your visa application also on the French government site, depending on the method by which you applied. I believe that VFS is used in India and they will also send you email and SMS messages if you ask for them at the time you apply for the visa.
