The French are so inconsistent about capitalization:
Alliance française
République française
but
Comédie-Française
La Fille du régiment
or
La fille du régiment
and they write La Bohème
but we write La bohème (as if we know better)
then there are L’
Orchestre national de France and
Orchestre national d’Île-de-France
but
Orchestre National de France and
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France

How right you are Mr Olassus. In days gone-by we never put accents on capital letters. Now they proliferate as part, I guess, of branding a product/group.
The reason for not putting accent on a capital letter was “mechanical” and goes back to the typewriter era.
There is no reason not to put an accent on capital anymore.
Personally, I tend not to capitalize adjectives as in “Orchestre symphonique”, “Orchestre national”. As for capitals in title (La Fille du régiment or La Bohème), I believe it’s a (bad) influence from English where’s there are capital letters everywhere. I’d go with “La fille”.
But that’s just me…
