I'm trying to get the books where the authors are from a specific country, for now my query looks like this :
$books->with('author')->where('country', '=', 'FR');
but the where is applied to books and not to authors
any help ?

You need to use whereHas() for that. The following code should do the trick:
$country = 'FR';
$books = Book::with('author')->whereHas('author', function($query) use ($country) {
$query->where('country', '=', $country);
})->get();
This will give you all books that have a related author, that has country column set to FR.
