The limit time is 6 month with no extension. 6 months are not 180 days. 6 months are the date you arrive + 6 months and leaving the day before u arrive: You arrive 3rd of June, you go on 2nd of December.
You have to present extension 30 opened days before, so 6 week before. Don’t wait.
The Canadian Government provides a questionnaire to determine which possibilities you have to visit Canada and if a visa is required.
In addition to your citizenship, there are a few other issues which may be relevant to determine the requirements, e.g. country of residence, any relationship with Canadian citizens, age or any previous permanent residence in Canada. Going through the questionnaire, you will be asked for all relevant details to determine the requirements for your stay.
Basically, as a French citizen living in France, you can stay for up to 6 months as a tourist without a visa. If you want stay longer, you can apply for an extension of stay from within Canada. You should do this at least 30 days before the initial 6 months expire. I have the impression that Canadian immigration requirements are pretty relaxed, so if you have available means to finance your stay without working, I would assume that you should not experience any problems doing this.
