Buteo buteo
Medium to large sized bird of prey and one of my favourites! The common buzzard is an extremely common site in France, especially around fields and wineyards. They are broad-winged raptors with wide variety of plumage ranging from grey/white to dark brown and black.
Due to the distance (plus I'm no raptor expert) I can't be 100% sure of the ID.
