I can never remember which is which. Hold down the ALT key and type 0232
to get è or 0233 to get é. But you've got to type on the numeric keypad,
not the numbers at the top of the keyboard.

No that would be the infinitive form and its translation is "to roll"
 
so we would not say "let the good times to roll"
 
roule is the correct spelling but it needs the accent aigue over the e
(which I do not know how to get from my keyboard)
