I'm not surprised about Google Books. In my experience, when you look for 'apprendre l'anglais' or similar you mainly get commercial links. You could do worse than go to the French government site for the Ministry of Education. English is included in 'les langues vivantes étrangères' - in fact English makes up the largest part of foreign language teaching in France. This is a very useful summary.
You will be able to get brochures and publication in the more specialist bookshops in France.
Hope this helps.
