There are several differences between French and English capitalisation of nouns to watch out for, all of which involve words which take a capital in English but not in French:

Days of the week:

Months:

Seasons:

Some geographical words:

1) Street, Avenue etc.:

2) Certain geographical features such as seas, oceans, mountains etc. (although the proper name of any of these features is capitalised, as any proper names are):

Titles which precede a proper noun:

Languages:

Nationalities and regions if used as adjectives:

But not if they are used as nouns:

Note: the name of countries, as proper names, are capitalised in French as in English:

Most Religions:

The names of most religions, whether as proper names or adjectives, as well as the name of their adherents, are not capitalised in French apart from a few exceptions:

The Religion as a Noun:

Name of Adherents:

The exceptions are:

The Religion as a Noun:

Name of Adherents:

Accents on capitals?

Traditionally, only Canadian French accents its capital letters, but the distinction has become more relaxed in recent years.
