Add the following two lines to /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc:
set input-meta on
set output-meta on

Adding these might help too, though I haven't needed them:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off

Read /etc/inputrc and "man readline" or "info readline" for details.

Just setting your locale ("export LANG=fr") might also be enough, I'm
not sure.
