You have to do it in a manual fashion with the \oe macro because in French,
the ligature oe is not automatic and depends on the pronunciation. For
example :
oeuf (with ligature) but coexistence (without ligature). The number of words
using the oe ligature in French is rather limited but some are used a lot.
It would be nice to have a script adding the ligature for this limited set
(oeil, oeuvre, soeur, boeuf, manoeuvre, coeur, choeur, voeu, moeurs, noeud)

Cheers,
