Be Sure to check your passport to make sure you have a few spare pages for visas in Asia. They tend to fill up very quickly with all the stamps...
Our New office is on the Bottom of the Map - Corner of Flemming & Hennessy roads.

This is not the business of ODM, but I suggest you apply from France. Chinese visa rules change all the time and there is no planning for it.
I believe at moment that French cannot apply for fast visa – it takes around 4 days. Other nationalities like Irish can get fast visa but it is very expensive in any case.
Enjoy your trip.
