Use double quotes?

show(LatexExpr(r"\text{L' élément}"))

If you don't want to use double quotes, then you can "escape" the single quote with a backslash. This means not using the "r" prefix for the string, so that a backslash can still serve as an escape: LatexExpr('\\text{L\'élément}').

Another option is to use triple quotes: LatexExpr(r'''\text{L'élément}''') or LatexExpr(r"""\text{L'élément}"""). These are useful if you want to use both ' and " in the string.
