I figure that there are some French people who can trace their heritage to the late Queen Marie Antoinette and if you have a parliment in place and don't make it absolute, it might work.

Marie Antoinette wasn't french and the french people have more commonsense than to go back to those days

Technically .. ANY country, (France, the U.S, China, whomever...) can establish a monarchy if they want to. They just have to amend their respective constitutions to do it. Do I think they would? No way. Why not? Because a monarchy would not particularly helpful, useful, or popular with the French people, or any people. Thats why monarchies pretty much have died out over the past few centuries - replaced by liberal democracies which are more responsive to the people they govern. (Or worst case dictatorships, which even if they're worse are still more efficient anyway) England still has their monarchy, but it holds no real power. They keep it around just for ceremonial purposes... and even at that - every year a bill comes up in Parliment to abolish it because its expensive to the taxpayers and doesn't serve any real meaningful purpose any more.

France could if it wanted to. But the French would not agree to it.

Nope. They tried that. Didn't work. Their current government works just fine.
