It all depends if you'll be travelling on your own, or with your wife.
As MeNoTalk pointed out, the UK is not part of the Schengen zone. This means that your residency permission in the UK doesn't allow you to travel in the Schengen area automatically. If your wife was French, and you were living in France with her, your residency would allow you to travel within the rest of the Schengen area. She's English, so that doesn't help. If you wish to travel on your own, you'd need to apply for a Schengen visa as normal, no special allowances.
However... The EU allows for free movement of its citizens throughout the area (EU/EEA), and also allows for Family Life. For more information on those, see the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights on the EU Commission or the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, or look up Directive 2004/38/EC.
This means that if you want to travel with your wife (but not on your own), then as she is allowed to travel anywhere within the EU, as her family you are allowed to come with her. These two European Commission pages cover a lot of it. You may sometimes need to be issued with a visa, so that border officials know your status, but this can't be denied, and shouldn't be charged for. This has a lot of details. The key part is:
If the family member has a “Residence Card for a family member of an EU citizen”, then they do not require a visa.
Where a visa is required, “Member States shall grant such persons every facility to obtain the necessary visas. Such visas shall be issued free of charge, as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated procedure.“
The Europa.EU site has a good set of details on this. Based on the information there, it looks like as your wife is both British and a British Resident, you'll need to apply for a Schengen visa to accompany her to France as a non-EU family member. This should be issued for free and within 15 days, provided you supply the required details to prove your status. (The number of qualifications and warnings around trying for a visa-on-arrival means I really wouldn't suggest you try that one...)
