Thank you Daniel and Ivan, with firefox i finded out that my text file
was encoded in WINDOWS-1252.
So a commande line such as:
iconv -f WINDOWS-1252 -t ISO-8859-1 liste.txt > liste2.txt
did the trick.
Alternatively, i modified my code with:
myReadFile a = do
h <- openFile a ReadMode
te <- mkTextEncoding "CP1252"
hSetEncoding h te
hGetContents h

I don't know the encoding of my file, how to deduce it?
What happens if you open it in a text editor? When it looks right, can you find out from the editor what encoding it used?
You could try opening the file in Firefox (or some other browser), go to View -> Character Encoding and see what it thinks it is (click Auto-Detect if you have selected some default encoding) if it looks right. If it looks garbled, try selecting different encodings to see if one looks right.
You could send me [a part of] the file and I could try and find something out (play a little with iconv).
