I have lived in Amelie Les Bains for 12 years and have both French and English friends, the best way to become part of the French society is to join clubs such as tennis or judo (which is very popular here). Hope this helps.
If there were judo and tennis clubs for people with two left hands, that would be even better. One of my local cafés has started doing "philosophy" evenings: I don't think it is philosophy as Anglo-Saxons know it, but I kick myself every time I miss one.
