Thank you everyone for your help ; I learned three things here : a) Not all fonts are equal regarding superscript : Adobe Premier and Minion work fine. b) Adobe Garamond Pro works too when using the starred form of the command. c) Finally my worries were useless, because Cyril was fully right, French typography uses only an "e" (even in Switzerland according to the Guide du typographe romand).

Adobe Garamond Pro doesn't have a è in its list of superiors, but since the font does have superiors, xltxtra uses that font feature to superscript the text, yielding the result you get. If you change the font to e.g. Garamond Premier Pro or Minion Pro (if you have them) the è will be properly superscripted. (This is what Ulrike alluded to by pointing to the xltxtra documentation (which also suggests solutions)).
