Title: Fix getting started filepath for French on Windows

When I checked in the original getting started files for French, I did so from the Mac, which apparently encodes é using the "decomposed" UTF-8 form (like an e followed by an accent). git doesn't do anything with encodings--it just treats filenames as streams of bytes--so it checked it in with the same byte sequence. So when we pull it down on Windows, it creates a filename containing the same bytes, which doesn't appear to work in the Windows filesystem (which just interprets bytes in filenames according to the default codepage, apparently).

To fix this, I recreated the folder on Windows, which creates it using the standard Latin-1 version of the é character, which happens to be the same as the composed UTF-8 form. When pulling that onto Mac, the é looks odd in Mac terminal (it's URL-encoded as %E9), but it looks correct in Finder, and it seems to work in Brackets.
