underlining of a text depends on the text

Question

When I want to underline text, I have a gap depending on whether the text contains letters that go down or not. For example :

    
    \begin{document}
Je teste le \underline{soulignement} \underline{avec} ou sans lettres qui descendent
    \end{document}

How to line up the underline or to "cut" the underline for the letters going down?

You can use \uline from the ulem package.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\begin{document}
Je teste le \underline{soulignement} \underline{avec} ou sans lettres qui descendent
Je teste le \uline{soulignement} \uline{avec} ou sans lettres qui descendent
\end{document}

Result:
