I live in France but use QWERTY instead of AZERTY, and I once had an opposite problem: on a French website, there was an <input> for phone number, validating that it stays [0-9] on each keystroke.
The validation was done by checking for the AZERTY-specific key combos that result in 0-9; on AZERTY to get a <number> you need to press SHIFT+<number>.
So if you had a QWERTY keyboard, you could not enter your phone number, the input stayed blank. (If you tried with SHIFT, you could get !@#$%^&*(() to the field however.)
