Schengen Visa for parents of British Children

[TC]

Hi there, I and my wife are Indian Passport holders with Indefinite Leave to Remain in UK. My two children are British Passport holders(aged 1 and 3 years). I am planning to apply for Schengen Visa in French Embassy. Do I have to pay a fees or is the Visa free for both me and my wife as family members of British Citizens?
I have tried reading the information on their website but it is not clear to me and hence this post. Any help is welcome.
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't think you come under the directive,

Article 2
Definitions
For the purposes of this Directive:

"Family member" means:
(a) the spouse;
(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has contracted a registered partnership, on the
basis of the legislation of a Member State, if the legislation of the host Member State
treats registered partnerships as equivalent to marriage and in accordance with the
conditions laid down in the relevant legislation of the host Member State;
(c) the direct descendants who are under the age of 21 or are dependants and those of the
spouse or partner as defined in point (b);
(d) the dependent direct relatives in the ascending line and those of the spouse or partner as
defined in point (b);

This information which is from Czech Republic Embassy made me wonder if I am included in the 'family member'. There should not be discrepancy between different Schengen Countries.
