It's dangerous, because in French, the letter A (even at the start of
a sentence) is often (more often than not, I guess) the uppercase
counterpart of unaccented a — and in that case it must not get an
accent. So if you mapped _all_ start-of-sentence A's to À you would
find yourself needing to correct many intances of À (and É and…) to
remove those pesky accents.
You are totally right Tony. I was thinking at only one use case,
forgetting all the others…
What you could do is use a keymap, $VIMRUNTIME/keymap/accents.vim
maybe, or maybe an owncoded one, so that you could type just `A rather
than Ctrl-K A!, and similarly just 'E instead of Ctrl-K E' etc.
That could be a solution indeed, if I'm able to not forget that :)

FYI -- the EasyAccents plugin
(http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#EASYACCENTS), I think,
makes accents fairly easy:
A' -> Á
o@ -> œ
etc. Turn it on with :EZA and off with: :EZA . You can switch the A'
transformation to 'A by changing a variable: g:EasyAccents_VowelFirst,
so whichever way works for you is fine with EasyAccents.
