I am not a francophone, I just have tried to look into sources I found 
during discussion on Greek quotes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#French
says that there are different styles of inner quotes.

I am more worry that Unicode CLDR defines the same character for quotes. 
However inner quotes varies across languages:

fr.xml:         <quotationStart>«</quotationStart>
fr.xml:         <quotationEnd>»</quotationEnd>
fr.xml:         <alternateQuotationStart>«</alternateQuotationStart>
fr.xml:         <alternateQuotationEnd>»</alternateQuotationEnd>

fr_CA.xml:      <alternateQuotationStart>”</alternateQuotationStart>
fr_CA.xml:      <alternateQuotationEnd>“</alternateQuotationEnd>
fr_CH.xml:      <alternateQuotationStart>‹</alternateQuotationStart>
fr_CH.xml:      <alternateQuotationEnd>›</alternateQuotationEnd>

I would prefer to keep consistency with CLDR.
