If you plan to fly into and out of Luxembourg, that is the nation you apply for visa.
But if your visit also includes a visit to France, to meet up with relatives or something like that, you can also apply at the French consulate.
The French and Luxembourg consulates should both use the same set of rules, your being married to an EU member national, regardless of which country.

My question to you is.
What makes you think you even need a Visa ?
Passport yes, but Visa, I would think not.
But if it would put your mind at rest,
just get on the ‘Phone and ring
the appropriate Embassy or Embassies
closest to where you live.
Best of luck, don’t travel in the High season or life will not be worth living. better to stay Home.
TcS.
That depends on where you are from and what visa you hold. From what I’ve gained, you don’t have a Schengen visa at the moment so you will probably need one if you are non-EU. It does not matter in which EU country you apply for a visa because they have the same standards.
Since I remember your question why there were no passport controls between Switzerland and France I assume you are located in France, right?
If so, what is your present travel document on which you got entry to France?
If it is a national visa type D valid for France only you would have to apply for a visa to visit Luxembourg at the embassy of Luxembourg in Paris or any of the foreign consulates of any Schengen country in other cities of France. If it is a combined visa type D/C and it states in the valid for column “F + Etats Schengen” you may use this visa to travel to Luxembourg during the time of its validation.
If you hold a residence permit as being married to a French citizen you may use that as a visa waiver to travel to Luxembourg for up to 90 days.
The residence permit would be a
- Carte de séjour des Communautés européennes (1 an, 5 ans, 10 ans)
(European Communities Residence Permit) (1 year, 5/10 years)
