The French embassy decides on the type of visa to be issued according to various factors ranging from the travel insurance taken out; previous travel history; the length of resident Leave remaining on the passport; quality of supporting documentation etc. The visa period issued is entirely at the discretion of the French Embassy's visa section and the ultimate decision to issue a visa at all rests with them.
However, there are some things that you can do to improve your chances of getting a longer term visa for France:
1. Submit good recent original documentation
2. Ensure that you have at least 6 months medical/travel insurance that includes repatriation (1yr is preferable) provide the policy documentation
3. Sign the French Embassy issued Assurance form to assure the French Consulate that you will have travel insurance the next time that you travel to France or any of the other Schengen countries.
