I have a bad news for you: you cannot use utf-8 for man pages source.
There is however a good news for you, as French user: there is support to
display in utf-8 if (and only if) the man page is encoded in iso-8859-1.
it should work automatically if you have a system properly configured
(otherwise, it is just a matter of changing -Tlatin1 with -Tutf8 in some
config file of man)

So, for users of languages encodable in latin1 that means they can continue to
see their man pages when switching to utf-8.
For others, that means they won't be able to read their manpages properly
when switching to utf-8.

the naming "@euro" is deprecated now; as the FRF is no longer current,
the locale fr_FR implies euro.
you should use "fr_FR.UTF-8" as your locale name
