Looks like a female Sooty Copper (Lycaena tityrus) to me.

Re: Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça ?
Some suggestions (and that's all they are!):
1. Privet hawkmoth - although I'm not sure of the white flecks.
2. The Passenger.
3. Tufted Marbled Skipper.
Cheers,

Re: Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça ?
I agree with Pete's suggestions. At least, the first two are definitely right. The white specks on the caterpillar may be eggs of a parasitic fly. I have often seen eggs like this on Mullein moth larvae.
