Where is the hotel? I've had Accor hotels in Asia that didn't charge the credit card until I arrived, then asked for my physical credit card. That was confusing because I had prepaid, didn't want to get charged twice and didn't have access to my card account immediately to verify.
In some cases, the hotels don't receive the reservation electronically, so they only charge when you get there. In some cases, they might try to avoid a higher merchant fee for credit card use without the card being present...
If the reservation is showing on the Accor site I wouldn't worry, probably just poor system integration between Accor and the property. If you are concerned, call the hotel to verify that they indeed have the reservation..
