Driving license exchange

Hi everyone, I have just been onto the ANTS site to check about changing my UK license and if I have understood correctly, as there is no reciprocal agreement between France and the UK we are obliged to obtain a French license by passing the test in France by the end of January 2022. When I tried to change my license last year, my application was refused as they were waiting for further information with regard to the Brexit deal. When I try to complete the online form to change my license, it tells me there is no agreement with the UK and I can’t use the online system. There is, on the government site, the procedure for changing a non European license but there must be a reciprocal agreement in place with the country in which the license was obtained. I was told by the Prefecture that ANTS is the authority on licensing questions so I should follow their instructions. Has anyone anything to add? Have you managed to request the exchange? Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
