Try Nisus:

Paragon sells a Nisus French (and others) dictionary for $30 each.
During spell checking, words that are to be accented get flagged and 
the correctly accented word is offered as a replacement. By relying on
the spelling checker to accent words you do not have to remember the
combinations required for the different accented letters.

But, if you must manually accent, and you do not remember how
to get the accented character, Nisus has an "ASCII" window that
allows you to view and scroll through all the characters of any font, and
with a double click insert a particular character into your document.

Cheers,
