Is it plausible for monarchy of some form to be restored to France after 1900? If so when, how, and would it be Orleanist, Legitimist, Bonapartist, or self proclaimed?

My opinion is that the most likely opportunity for a monarchical restoration would be in the wake of a German victory in WWI. The next most likely opportunity would be if the February 6 1934 crisis led to a coup d'etat. Though, I think a coup would more likely lead to an authoritarian dictatorship (probably para-fascist, not unlikely fully fascist) instead of a monarchy. However, such a authoritarian regime may seek legitimacy by restoring the monarchy.
