Looks like a Meyer lemon or lemon of some type. Not sure if Meyer is available in France ? With the red flower buds It is a lemon of some type.

Good evening,
Thank you for responding.

Yes, Citrus meyeri is available but not often labeled...
Apparently there is no budding.
The fruit appears small for Citrus meyeri (7x5cm diam) no ?

Citrus meyerii can come in different sizes. Sometimes shape too. But yours is typical Meyer lemon fruit size for that size of tree.
