Hello Roland and Dietrich,
Indeed it is close to O narbonense (ofwhich I got quite a stock here) but:
1- this plant is much higher 60cm-70cm
2. the leaves are pale green ( O narbonense more greyish)
3. Flowers ere creamy yellow (not white) petals are narrower and slightly
longer than O narbonense
4 seed capsules are exactly like O narbonense
4 flowering part of the spike is 20-30cm long
5 flower bracts too late to verify
It could be O.pyranaicum, but I cannot find much information on that
species

that is most likely Ornithogalum narbonense L.
In Ornithogalum narbonense L. the bracts should be twice as long as the
flower buds. Unfortunately I cannot check this character on the photo.
The other Ornithogalum with a similar habit indigenous to southern
France is O. pyrenaicum with greenish (not pure white flowers inside).
