Based upon anecdata of mate who has been resident in south west France just over 10 years,
even in his bit of French Basque country, post referendumb vote, French bureaucracy for Citizenship is in full I-dotting/T-crossing overdrive. Wasted a day driving to Pau, nearest, large-enough administrative centre to administer required 'So you want to be a Citizen' interview and comprehension exam.
(French-born & educated wife of his retired UK diplomat neighbour attempted online revision version and scored only 60%).
Could ask him some questions for you, if beneficial, of other requirements. -
Any Irish grandparents? That seems to be the easiest route if so.

Perhaps wrong place to ask, but if I were to register as living at a friend's place in France/open dormant bank account etc now, would this act as some kind of insurance policy against Brexit happening in 2 years through being able to claim citizenship or does the proof/requirements go much further than being able to show you've lived at an address?
Really not looking forward to finishing this Masters and finding that my employment prospects have been irreversibly tied to a gratuitously self sabotaged economy in a country run by over privileged cunts.
