If I read correctly, the foreign (for french) prose is unmodified so their quotes should remain unchanged, without caring about the outer nesting level. I am not 100% sure about it though. FWIW, the same authoritative book does not give «» and <> for french nesting. «» are also used for inner quotes. </Daniel>
