Here you go:

LANG=fr_FR
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR
LC_TIME=fr_FR
LC_COLLATE=fr_FR
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR
LC_PAPER=fr_FR
LC_NAME=fr_FR
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR
LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR
LC_ALL=

for 'locale', and also, in the environment:

CHARSET=ISO-8859-15

Finally, in /usr/share/locale, I got:

CP1251/
en/
en_GB/
en_GB.ISO-8859-1/
en_GB.UTF-8/
en_US/
en_US.ISO-8859-1/
en_US.UTF-8/
fr/
fr_FR/ (LC_COLLATE in this directory is a link to fr_FR.ISO-8859-15/LC_COLLATE)
fr_FR.ISO-8859-1/
fr_FR.ISO-8859-15/
fr_FR.UTF-8/
ISO-8859-1/
ISO-8859-13/
ISO-8859-14/
ISO-8859-15/
ISO-8859-2/
ISO-8859-3/
ISO-8859-4/
ISO-8859-5/
ISO-8859-7/
ISO-8859-9/
KOI8-R/
KOI8-U/
UTF-8/

with, in /usr/share/locale/locale.alias (among other entries):
français	fr_FR.ISO-8859-15
french		fr_FR.ISO-8859-15
