Subspecies looks interesting, looks a bit like the Siberian subspecies dukhunensis, which is a rare vagrant to France. The nominate Western European subspecies should have a black throat. Do you have any pictures showing the wings?
definitely no black throat like the European resident one and quite a bit of white in the wing coverts. And black enough head to not be super juvenile, but probably a bit immature. Anyway, seems it’s a vagrant Siberian wagtail (M.a. dukhunensis)

Location and time of year are both very important in identifying birds.

Its a white wagtail. :)
Thank you ! I was not sure because the top of its head seems to be red, but maybe it's the quality of the picture... :')
Forgot about the time of year, sorry ! It was in the first days of november
