I'm not sure there are any UK-based schools that use twin-engine Tecnam's. Most use DA42'S, PA34's or the occasional Duchess.

The UK offered six-month extensions for ATPL's taken during COVID. It might be worth checking if France has anything similar. If not, do as rudestuff says and get your IR done without delay!
