Is it really out of the question to start ...

To reinstate the French monarchy? I feel so bad over what happened to Marie Antoinette, she was just a young, niave girl that really didn't have a choice in what happened in her life.
I recently bought the movie "Sofia Coppola's version" and I just love it, of course I knew about her and her story before this movie came out but I've always had a sort of vibe about her that she wasn't as bad as people made her out to be.

I'm not sure who'd they would pick for a King, Queen, etc but I was thinking there must be some direct descendants of a French monarch somewhere in France.

The head of the House of Orleans in France is descended from King Louis XIII, and King Louis Phillipe (in the male line) , the best claim to the throne of France would be with the Spanish Bourbons descended in the male line from King Louis XIV.

Oh and the Bourbons are currently ruling the Spanish monarchy, right?

Yes they are, and one of them is known as "Louis XX" to supporters of the Spanish Bourbons claim to the French throne.
