French naturalization

Crossposting here. I born in France to immigrant parents (mother is English, father is American) I lived in the country until I turned 18. I attended French public schools. Both my brothers are triple citizens, my older brother did a declaration of nationally at 18 and my parents did my little brothers paperwork when he turned 13.

I on the other hand only have US an UK passports as I moved to the US for work when I turned 18. Growing up of the 3 cultures I felt the most French. All my friends were French growing up.

Being a master procrastinator, intimidated by French red tape and perhaps fear of rejection I never applied to my citizenship. I also put it off for a long time because of the uk formerly being part of the EU i figured I didn’t need to spot as I would have the same rights as a EU citizen. Brexit changed everything.

The current state of US has made me anxious to what the future holds. I’m strongly considering retiring in Europe for a better quality of life. I want to try to apply for my French citizenship to avoid any regret.

ChatGPT thinks I have a case since I was in France and lived there until I was 18, strong cultural ties since my bothers are French and that I’m fluent.

Has anyone in a similar situation gone through the naturalization process recently? Can it be done through my closest embassy or do I have to travel to France? I’m heading back in September (this will be a good time to gather some documents)

Any insight is much appreciated.
