Indeed, same on Apple's "French" keyboard layout, unless you select the "French (numeric)" one, in which case caps lock produces numbers. Also, ` is a dead key, as is ^ and ¨, which works with caps too, but there's no dead key for acute accent (é).
Other bits of trivia:
On macOS, the numeric keypad (if any) is always num-lock'd.
The Apple "French" layouts are vastly different from the PC ones (also available as "French - PC"), relying on visual symbolism for extra glyphs which makes them (sort of) easier to remember:
option-n is ~ (which turns out to be a dead key)
option-l is ¬, option-t is †
option-shift-l is |
option-( is { and option-shift-( is [
“smart” ‘quotes’ are on " and ' with option and option-shift
there are ligatures too: shiftable æ œ fi on option-a o and g
question and exclamation marks are reversed with option too: ! -> ¡ and ? -> ¿
option-d is ∂ PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL, option-shift-s is ∑, option-m is µ, option-f is ƒ
now guess how you do: © ™ ®
£ gives # when option'd (even though there's a dedicated @+# key)
shift-- is underscore, option-- is en-dash, option-shift-- is em-dash
similarly, there's also (grouped per physical key: no mod, shift, option, shift+option):
< > ≤ ≥
= + ≠ ±
: / ÷ \
