Hm, the title card confuses me a lot, because of the English title/words at the top! I assume this means the title card was taken from an English release -> and not from a French original release?!? What I mean is: I assume there was a release in the past with a title card that does not use any English words! I think this disqualifies this specific title card as evidence regarding the original French title!
I don't speak French - and that's completely confusing to me. But these are actually the original press kits for the movie -> you can find the English version on the website of the official international distributor and they were also available at the official website (which is now dead):
So, I can't decide what's correct here. 5 years ago, @lineker decided to use "chapitres" because that's clearly the correct one. I'm the wrong person to say if that's correct or not - so I'm going to keep this discussion open for another moderator.
Title card is from English Blu-ray release, so I don't know if it was originally used. There's no rule here that we must use the title card spelling like IMDb does.
The bigger problem I'm having is with: La vie or La Vie. It seems we're using Wikipedia's French capitalization rules, so La Vie is correct.

Original Title: La Vie d'Adèle - Chapitres 1 et 2 (Wikipedia capitalization)
Title card spelling of Chapitres is Chapitre.

The official website of the Cannes Film Festival uses "chapitre" almost everywhere - except for the poster! On the poster, it's "chapitres"!?!?
However, on this page, you can also download 2 pdf files in French and in English - and they use 2 different French versions:
