Actually, the official body in charge of this (Académie Française) has 
always recommended upper-case letters with accents , but the school 
teachers teach the other way, and accents on capital letters was 
technically challenging (in printing, writing machines and keyboard), so 
many people think the official recommendation is to drop them, and that 
is anyway complicated. But I often get question from non technical 
people on how I type É, œ, or Œ, which shows that they are natural.

(French language Wikipedia has more details on this 
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_des_majuscules_en_fran%C3%A7ais , 
including the fact that the rules in Switzerland are different.)
