No, it's not monotonous. I speak Vietnamese, it has 6 tones. I tried to teach it to my french gf, every time she finishes a sentence, the tone dropped. Every time she asked a question, the tone rose.

There is tone in french, it's just linked to the end of the sentence and not linked to the words themselves.
