You can very easily buy a MacBook with a "normal" US keyboard, even in France. Personally I gave up the french layout several years ago. It took me maybe one week to get comfortable with the US-International input to type accents when writing in French, and that was it, never looked back.
The US-International input is very simple: to do an à you do ` then a, to do a ç you do ' then c. This input mode is however quite annoying when writing code, so I switch between US and US-International input mode depending on what I'm doing.
