A French keyboard might produce different key codes and have different key caps in a different layout, in the end a programme will receive the proper chars (including control characters). The translation layer from hardware key code to software character can be changed by switching the keyboard language in Control Centre, so that German QWERTZ can become English QWERTY although you are still typing QWERTZ.

In case Guilhem is not used to the French keyboard layout it might help to open the floating virtual keyboard and see and learn which characters are actually hidden in the ⌥ (alt/option) and ⇧⌥ (shift-alt/option) key layers…
