I tried this. It’s SO hard to switch.

I found the switch much simpler than Qwerty-to-Dvorak thanks to the fact that keys in the bottom left are in the same positions as they are in Qwerty. That means the most common keyboard shortcuts (like undo/copy/paste) are unchanged, which had been my biggest issue while trying Dvorak.
I did the same with the layout I use. I think ZXCV is going to be with us for a long time
Ah yes, my favorite controls: WARS
Stillborn layout. Just like Dvorak.
Does it have â à è ê é û ô œ (etc) ? I find AZERTY increasingly uncomfortable and I'd like to try something else, but it has to have accentuated letters readily available (like on the Kaz layout which I am currently using)
No. Furthermore, the letter placement is also optimized for typing English. A couple French layouts that I see are BÉPO and Dvorak-fr, you may want to look into one of those.
Thanks, I will look into them
