Thanks to francisharley of IMCDB who provides one screenshot.

Photo Shooting

Princess Armelle is shot near a single seat cockpit which has a modern ejector seat. So it's probably a jet fighter of the 60's or later. Most of them have a canopy which opens upwards; some (like the F-104) toggles on the side and does'nt suit.
Some jets of the 50's have a canopy sliding backwards but the ejector seat is too advanced for this time (and usualy, the windscreen is not so long).
It could be a Dassault Mirage III or F1's windshield but the canopy should be open upwards. I must search evidence by I think canopy could be made apart and just lay down the spine of the airframe in order to exit a wounded pilot. Who can confirm this ? Or suggest a better solution (I mean : who is sure to identify what type of aircraft ?).

BTW, for those who love french songs of the end of the 80's, this set of pictures reminds me "Aviateur" of V. Jeannot; the LP's cover was shot near the Lockheed F-104 of the MAE (Paris Le Bourget Air ans Space Museum).
