Your locale setting is probably wrong.

Which OS do you use?
I remember seeing that Win XP did not use Unicode by default but
uses Windows code page 1252 (sigh).

I think this can be fixed by setting the LANG environment variable.
In Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables,
add the environment variable LANG setting it to fr_FR.UTF-8
Then restart GVim.
