Need help making friends

Re-uploaded because it was removed...??

So first off, I'm a Brit (28 F) living in rural Normandie for 5 years now and well... My social life is as active as a fish in a grassy field.

I know this subreddit is for people in Paris but I have no where else to go to, to find new friends in France or even ask for help on finding new friends.

To cut a long story short, I did have a group of friends out here but after I refused to forgive someone after an incident at a party, I was promptly booted out of the group and I've been trying to find new friends every since.

Unfortunately the area I live in is perfect for retirement age folks and not so great for me. The handful of people I have managed to meet that are my age are either home bound completely or part of a group I really don't want to fall into...

I just want to make genuine friendships out here but I don't know where to start!

My french is limited but I'm trying everyday to learn and i'm slowly improving, I can drive, i've joined a gym. I'm extremely active (like a dog with a ball) and will practically say yes to any sort of adventure!

I'm also a pet sitter so my day to day is constantly changing but I'm always there is someone needs me and rarely bail on anyone if I can help it and especially if we've made plans prior!

I'm just honestly hitting a low point now and just want people to hang out with and have a fun time making memories before I get too old and regret the last years of my 20's...

So if anyone has any advice or apps I can use or even just wants to be friends I'm happy with whatever
