Let's see... French is a derivitive of Latin (shown below), so: Lunae (Moon) Martis (Mars) Mercurii (Mercury) Jovis (Jupiter) Veneris (Venus) Saturni (Saturn) Solis/Dominicus (Sun) taken from: http://www.offspring.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-4640.html
The French days of the week are named after Roman gods, not planets. Dimanche means "Sunday" and is named after the Latin term "dies Dominica," meaning the Lord's day, in reference to the Christian Sabbath.
Dimanche,lundi,mardi.mecredi,jeudi,vendredi,samedi.
This might be more apparent to speakers of languages other than English. There is a closer match in French, for example. It is not that planets are named after the days of the week. Both the days of the week and the planets are named after various deities that have been influential in human thought over the centuries.
The days of the week were named after gods from Norse mythology. For example, Thursday was originally "Thor's day", named after the god Thor.
Six days a week
The days of the week are in part named after Norse gods (and also after the sun and the moon, which are not Norse gods).

April in French is 'avril'. The names of the months and days of the week are not capitolized in French.
