I don't know anything about using {listings} along with [utf8] 
{inputenc}, but in a quick test, it seems to work to use XeTeX to do  
something similar....

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
%\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Times Roman}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{%
language=[AlLaTeX]TEX,%
extendedchars=true,%
}
\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}
Justifiez votre rŽponse.
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}

This runs without error messages; as I'm not sure what the {listings}  
package is meant to do, I can't vouch for the correctness of the  
output. It seems to be using the "roman" (body text) typeface with  
monospaced characters, but perhaps that's the intent.
