They are called quotation marks. In some fonts like this one, they are a pair of short lines before and after the quotation at the top of the line like "this". In other fonts these are printed as a pair of inverted apostrophes before the start of the quotation and a pair of apostrophes after. In England, they are sometimes called "Inverted commas"

In French the markers are a pair of circumflexes on their side, looking like two "lesser than" signs in mathematics (<) at the beginning of the quotation, and a pair of the opposite sign (>) at the end.
