Hi Charles,
That's not the same individual but I think it might well be the same species - so let's apply Ockham's razor and assume it is!
I think this is the southern French subspecies of grizzled skipper,
Pyrgus malvae malvoides (in other words, Denise was right, again!). I have little experience of this subspecies myself but I did see it when I visited Tim Cowles in France this year and these two photos (of the same individual) I took then were confirmed by him as being classic
malvoides.
Although the books say it looks the same as grizzled skipper, Tim finds that the white spots are less cluttered, the submarginal spots on the forewing more often absent and the central marking on the upper hindwing more often diminished (as it is in yours).
If your upperside and underside really are the same species I can see no reasonable alternative to
malvoides!
