I am going to apply a visa in France and I don’t know should I apply profession liberal or visiteur after reading many information.

I’m a freelance graphic designer on Upwork that all my clients are Americans, while I have an online store on Etsy, again all the clients are Americans, products are made and sent from Asia. I have read that remote work is allowed for visiteur visa as long as my business has no ties of France, however some argue I am not allowed to work. I have also checked profession liberal visa and it required to have 70% of French clients. I have been told if my clients are not french than I should apply visteur visa. It’s really contradictory.

Secondly can a visiteur visa leads to citizenship? The government website has states that as long as you live continuously 5 years, you are eligible to apply. However some commented it required to have income from France to prove you are integrated into the society.
