You can also activate French encoding on your system. I don't remember exactly how that works, but I think it's a system setting.

When you release the Alt key, the symbol will appear. It will not work if you use the numbers on the QWERTY keyboard. Also, depending on what program you are using (Word or Excel, for example), you can click Insert, Symbol to find many different foreign characters.
