i am having problems with student visa in france and i was wondering if someone is able to help me...

I am japanese and my student visa (long stay temporary visa) which allows me to stay in france as a student has recently expired in march (the visa was valid from sep to march) and i am still staying in france finishing my studies.
in order to extend my visa, i went to switzerland in january and had my passport stamped ( to state that i entered switzerland) to obtain a visiter's visa.
In a couple of days, that visiter's visa is to expire since it will soon be three months after my visit to switzerland. therefore this month, i went to andorra and received a stamp from andorra stating that i entered the country. On my way back into France, I tried to get my passport stampted to state that I reentered france but i was rejected and was told that i have overstayed and i have nolonger the right to remain in france.

Does this mean that I am currently illegally staying in France? Could someone please explain to me in what situation I am in and how I can get aaround it... I am planning to go back to japan by either the beginning or the end of july and I already have my flight booked. What should i do?? Would someone please help me...
