Hi @Adegolden
We have knowledge on migration matters in Germany, our ability to advise on the situation in France is limited. From what I have read, if your asylum application is finally rejected you will be issued with an OQTF. Organisations working in this area in France will be better able to help you with questions about the duration it takes and other options in France.
This site is a good source of information for migrants in France:

You can **** on the website of Germany embassy for information on how to get a visa to come and live in Germany:
https://allemagneenfrance.diplo.de/fr-de/service/visa/english
If you come otherwise, you will be returned to France. France will continue to be the country responsible for you under the EU’s Dublin regulations.
Best,
Éanna
