Spacing with French accents

I am writing a text in English where I frequently use sidebars with the spacing of 0.8. The French word Ecole creates a problem because there is an accent on E ('Ecole), and TeX feels that extra spacing is needed between the line with École and the previous one. Here is an example:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{setspace}
begin{document}
begin{spacing}{0.8}
In 1788 he completed a long work on a book ``M'ecanique Analytique'' (The Analytical
Mechanics), which offered a revolutionary view of mechanics as the four dimensional geometry.
measures, the only branch of the Acad'emie des Sciencese. In 1794 he became a professor of
analysis at the newly created 'Ecole Polytechnique. He also taught at 'Ecole Normale.
end{spacing}
end{document}
Is there a standard way to handle such a situation? The text looks ugly with different spaces between lines.

using the standard settings there is space for É without affecting the baseline, you should show a small example that shows the problem so we see your font and baseline settings
