Not really - I'm pretty certain ISO-8859-1 will cover all of the special
french characters. But it's irrelevant - if your code/pages are
written in UTF8, you won't get the desired result if you serve them as
ISO-8859-1.

No, your header didn't have a Content-Type listed, so I think your
meta-tag should work.
