Check French holidays. My European colleagues had Thursday off last week and almost all of them took Friday as well. Embassies always get the best of both worlds.
French citizen here. I contacted them recently (after a while) to renew my passport and something felt off, like there’s only one guy working there and he’s an intern or something. I wasn’t able to schedule an appointment before end of June and every interaction is through email only. Overall the endeavor felt wonky at best and I wouldn’t recommend. One star only.

I haven’t dealt with the visa staff there but the passports, declaration naissance, other administration people there have always been punctual, professional and kind.
How long is “a long time?”
From my understanding anything to do with French Bureaucracy moves on a different timescale than you’re used to in other countries, but I’ve never found them any worse than any other place personally.
Yes last month got a new passport they were pretty responsive and surprisingly on schedule for a french administration.
That’s France for you. French embassy in this case.
