This is an important topic! No doubt you'll get tons of helpful information from the community.
My 2 cents:
France is notorious for tough and drawn out administration services; newcomers are not going to change centuries of culture. Learn to put things into perspective and play the long game. Persistence does pay off so keep trying and don't take ‘non' as the final word. Network with other expats as you don't need to reinvent the wheel. You might find a sympathetic ear at the Mairie who can point you in the right direction.
I believe there has been progress and an attempt to streamline certain administrative procedures.
Good luck!
