You've forgotten the 'hook' argument in the abbrev definition. Also,
:regexp is a property for the whole table, so you need something like
this:
(define-abbrev-table 'fundamental-mode-abbrev-table
'(
("a que" "a qué" nil :count 0))
"Uwe's table"
:regexp "\\(\\w+ ?\\w+\\)")
(I agree the documentation could be clearer)
