Here is what the french Wikipedia page says:
Méthode avec doubles guillemets-apostrophes : « L’ouvreuse m’a dit : “Donnez-moi votre ticket.” Je le lui ai donné. »
Recommandée en français canadien[19],[20] et utilisée par de nombreuses publications françaises tel que le journal Le Monde[21].
Méthode avec doubles guillemets répétés : « L’ouvreuse m’a dit : « Donnez-moi votre ticket. » Je le lui ai donné. »
Recommandée par l'Imprimerie nationale et aussi sur Wikipédia en français, conformément à ses conventions typographiques. Noter que l’Imprimerie nationale recommande l’omission de l’un des guillemets fermants en cas de cumul de guillemets quand une citation se termine sur une citation incluse[22].
Méthode avec simples guillemets : « L’ouvreuse m’a dit : ‹ Donnez-moi votre ticket. › Je le lui ai donné. »
Recommandée en typographie suisse, avec des espaces fines insécables[23].

I agree with Arthur. The use of < > would be an anglicism.
