Your problem is in other code. Your sample code has a Unicode string that has been mis-decoded as latin1, Windows-1252, or similar, since it has UTF-8 sequences in it. Here I undo the bad decoding and redecode as UTF-8, but you'll want to find where the wrong decode is being performed:

>>> s = u'Rue du Gu\xc3\xa9, 78120 Sonchamp'
>>> s.encode('latin1').decode('utf8')
u'Rue du Gu\xe9, 78120 Sonchamp'
>>> print(s.encode('latin1').decode('utf8'))
Rue du Gué, 78120 Sonchamp
