Just get an automatic transmission instead. That might be my American perspective showing though. I know manual transmissions are more common in Europe (or at least I've heard), but I don't know if that's just driver preference or for some other reason (like cost).
Automatics had a bit of a bad reputation, for quite a while. They don't/didn't play well with our road layouts. E.g. they could be slow to downshift when climbing a hill, and kick when they did decide to play along. I believe they have improved a lot, but most people are used to manuals, and so more manuals are sold. This makes automatics more expensive and rarer.
I will say when I rented a car in Wales in the mid 2010s they had like literally 2 automatics and they were double the rate. It wasn't at all common there then.
In France they're only starting to get traction. They just weren't a thing until say ten or fifteen years ago. Top of the line cars had the option, but it was very rare. It's a matter of culture. We have an automatic now (wife is more comfortable with it), it handles gear changes shittily but it appeases my left leg, so we're even.
