If most will use them in the searches, then use them. I usually write the stuff the way it should. Or you look like someone that can't write properly. Not a good image if you sell stuff.

Example... 'télécharger' (download) is also searched by the french dudes with telecharger. If I search télécharger and telecharger, the SERPS are not the same. It's an equivalent of the plurals trouble in english if you want.

Any word with é ê è ë ç... is bound to be forced to do 2 pages for the affected word, since the French dudes will search for either one. Frech is so cool, a real load of fun...LOL

So this is basically the same. On volume if you see that one is not really searched, just use the one that hits. But you might be stuck like me and both versions are used a lot... I 1st try to put the non-é version once or twice on the page... if the results aren't good enough... you need a page for both.
