Standard QWERTY with dead keys

I use a Mac and there are combinations to help me input accents: Option + E gives me the acute accents like é, Option + U gives me the trema accents like ü, Option + I gives me the circumflex like î, etc.

I use AZERTY (been using it for long enough that I do everything on azerty atp), but it's really just up to personal preference. Try both, see which one fits you and roll with it

If you want to be able to type all accents and punctuation :
CMS - downside is some moved symbol keys, but is used in canada
qwerty-fr - no changed layout, can test it online

If you don't care about having all accents and characters:
US-INTL - base US layout, makes punctuation a bit frustrating to type
French canadian - basically CMS but with less flexibility

If you REALLY want to use the keyboards used in france and don't care about having symbols, capital accented characters, etc:
Azerty

HUGE +1 for qwerty-fr (if your used to US-QWERTY), its very intuitive and has almost any symbol you'll ever need.
