Not as familiar with french either. :) It looks like it is a "pumpkinseed" http://eol.org/pages/995125/overview

Someone just told me it was what we call a "crapet soleil" in french... Probably a sunfish in english. Thanks for your comment! @bee.jacbs

Not as familiar with fish from the area, but it sure looks beautiful. Might be a sunfish of some kind. I'll try to do a little research.
