Does getting these roles require French citizenship? Asking for a friend ;)

To work in French civil service (as a fonctionnaire) you need to be a EU/EEA citizen but not necessarily French.

Interesting. Have you ever seen a non-French(/Walloon/Monegasque/French Swiss) person work in French civil service?

I could see there being.. biases that make it much harder in practice. Not particular to France, but anywhere in Europe.

My friend might just start brushing up on their French.

I would say that for most jobs you just need a work permit. Only when doing "core" tasks where one acts on state's authority the barriers are higher.
