Latex and Memoir class, guillemot left/right

Question

I am using memoir class with latex, and I need the two characters:

"«", and "»".

I found the following commands:

\guillemotright and \guillemotleft, but they look very ugly. Is there something wrong in what I am doing? Latex source:

Answer 2

i recommend to

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

and even

\usepackage{aeguill}

from the french language pack. this way you can simply write your guillemets and you dont have to use \guillemotleft and \guillemotright
