Here's a (IMO) nicer version of your table. I've done two things: removed the vertical lines and centred the text vertically in the cells. (I won't comment on the French typographical rules mentioned by André.)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs} % nicer looking tables (don't use vertical lines)
\usepackage{tabularx} % columns that expand to fill available space
\usepackage{array} % extra formatting possibilities tables
% The next command changes the definition of the tabularx column
% to one in which the column contents are centred vertically and
% horizontally
\renewcommand\tabularxcolumn[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{cXXX}
\toprule
Mvts & Premier cycle & Deuxième cycle & Troisième cycle \\
\midrule
1 & Avant \textit{L'artisanat furieux} & & \\
\midrule
2 & & 1\up{er} commentaire sur les Bourreaux de solitude & \\
\midrule
3 & \textit{L’artisanat furieux} & & \\ \midrule
4 & & commentaire sur les \textit{Bourreaux de solitude} & \\
\midrule
5 & & & 1\up{ère} version de \textit{Bel édifice et les pressentiments} \\

7 & Après \textit{L'artisanat furieux} & & \\

\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}
