As to bilingual - I am now having worked in Poland for the last 19 years. Hopefully I will be trilingual shortly (learning Spanish) although ages ago I was quite good at French.

I can get by in Polish and in Czech but I found both those languages incredibly complicated. Well...jeden oluvek, dwa oluvki, sto oluvkow!! (excuse spelling and UK keyboard). Very confusing...
Once you've got the hang of a language it never goes so you could find that your knowledge of French might surprise you if you had to use it. German is my second language and although I haven't used it much lately - not for years, in fact -I was surprised to find how easily I could converse with a German I met the other day.
