In order to type those characters you need two things:
(1) that the characters you want to represent are printable on the screen. For this, you'd use DISPLAY (see documentation and such), because default codepage (character set) will not have the capital accented letters (so you can write è but not È). DISPLAY works well in standalone execution of FreeDOS, but will not work under NT boxes or DOSEMU boxes.
(Information: DISPLAY relies exclusively on BIOS and does not mangle with ports, so this means that involved calls are not implemented).
(2) that the keys that you type in your keyboard correspond to the characters it should print for a French layout. In standalone FreeDOS you have KEYB that you can run as you would in MS-DOS. It works fine under NT boxes as well, but I ignore if it runs under DOSEMU (I don't have a stable DOSEMU installation). Nevertheless, you can change the keyboard layout that the "DOSEMU BIOS" will use by tunning the dosemu.conf file (but I don't know much about this, because I was unsuccessful to load the Spanish layout, doesn't seem to work well).
