Ok, forget the other answers, this is what you need:
Eric Satie - gymnopedie 1. I think he has three and you should check the others too. I even found a pdf link for you with the sheet music so you can look at it. Its two pages only, its not technically challanging but you need a lot of right touch!
Here it is, scroll down to the second page: http://grove.ufl.edu/~tiberivs/pdf/gymno1_cello_piano.pdf#search=%22sheet%20gymnopedie%20filetype%3Apdf%22

Try Debussy. He's written some pretty accessible things. "The Little Shepherd" isn't very difficult. There's some bizarre chords, but it's a nice piece.
Daquin is another fine composer, he's in the Baroque era, considerably more traditional than Debussy. His "Le Coucou" is a great little piece.
Good Luck.

Well, i don't know about easiness, but i was never that good of a piano player (you're probably much better than I, I only had 4-5 yrs!), and I could always play a simple Chopin piece that doesn't have too many flats or sharps. I love Chopin, especially his more romantic and darker pieces... I recommend the Aeolian Etude, or that famous lullaby-type song by him (it's been so long, i forget what it's called!). If you ever learn to play the Etude Revolutionaire well, you know you're good...

One of the most famous French composers is Hector Berlioz. He wrote lots of good pieces, so do some research and pick a tune that's right for you.

find a piece by Poulanc, pronounced poo-longk he's modern and your classmates will love it cause it's tres tres moderne, basically "organized noise" but also catchy tune and definitely not your typical classical piece. my classical teacher had me do it for a break from same-same. you i would say most people with a decent size hand who has been playing for 7+ years could play it within 2 to 3 weeks. good luck & have fun!

I think something by Debussy. I once played a piece called Autumn Leaf - it's short and easy, so it can be done in a few weeks.
