Hello
I have purchased this plant from a local producer here nearby Aix en Provence, who does not put labels on his plants.
Possibly a Tephrocactus or Cumulopuntia ?
Thks for your advice.

Re: Tephrocactus or Cumulopuntia ?
It's a Cumulopuntia. This looks like the plant we know as C. ferocior, which is usually treated as a synonym of Cumulopuntia chichensis.
Compare with:

http://www.tephroweb.ch/cumul/cumuferoc.htm
The plants on p70-71 of https://cactuspro.com/biblio/en:kiessling
http://www.cactusexplorers.org.uk/TSG_download.htm 2007, 13(3), 38 (there's loads of discussion about boliviana/ferocior/chichensis over the course of several editions of the TSG around this time)
