Unfortunately, it's a very long process.

You will basically have to get into a French medical school and after year 1 take the concours exam (which is ridiculously tough). Then you skip years 2-6 and take the ECN exam. Your rank in the exam determines the specialty or rather choice of specialty you get into. I believe you also need to get your degree evaluated and have a valid visa (May be a French citizenship from what I've heard.)

Indeed, you have to go through the whole program in French (so it is assumed that you have a high level of proficiency prior to undertaking this route.)
