Sorry, I left some things out.  The right place to put this is in a mode hook, like this:

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
	  '(lambda ()
	     (interactive)
	     ;; avoid inserting \og{}...\fg{} auctex default
	     (setq TeX-quote-language-alist
		   `(("french" "«~" "~»" ,TeX-quote-after-quote)))
	     )
	  )

Sorry, I can’t help, I would need to work it out myself first.
