EEA family permit application location requirements - Crop businessman giving contract to woman to sign

I'm French, my wife is Chilean. I'll keep my questions brief. Can my non-EU wife apply for an EEA family permit from within any country (apart from the UK, obviously) even if it is not her country of origin? It's next to impossible to apply in Chile because of the pandemic and I doubt it'll get better soon. Would she be able to apply for one in France while we are there? If so, what is the estimated application processing time for a married spouse?
