This is related to my [previous question](https://expatriates.stackexchange.com/questions/5648/getting-a-drivers-license-in-france-as-a-foreigner).

Assume the following (for the moment hypothetical) situation:

* I do not have any valid driver's license at the moment, but I do know how to drive
* I just moved to France, and I am a non-French EU citizen
* I do not speak French

What would I need to be able to get a driver's license? How long will it take? How much will it cost? Are lessons mandatory or can I go directly for the test? I believe it is possible to take a test in English, though likely there are difficulties in arranging this.

EDIT: I'd like to clarify that getting an (international) driver's license in any other country is not an option at this moment.
