Sorry :-) I should have written the whole name, but I didn't know for sure whether they have other Paris species in France...

@ Tomas : thanks for the tips, I was able to identify it. (Despite it was difficult to search on the web a flower called 'Paris', I have to dig it out from lot of picture of the Paris city)
