Hi, according to my knowledge (and also Wikipedia), French uses « … » as
double (\quotation) and ‹ … › as single (\quote) quotation marks.

The current setting in ConTeXt however is « … » for both, just with less
spacing for \quote.
If no francophone user objects I’d suggest to fix this.

   I object :-)  Single chevrons are not used at all in typography from
France.  I read however on https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemet that
they are in Switzerland, hence if that can be confirmed there could be
an option for Swiss French; but in the mean time I think that the
current setup should stay as it is.

Ok, thank you!
So the German Wikipedia as well as “DUDEN Satz und Korrektur“ are wrong.
