This page has images of what I believe to be Autumn Ringlet. The date of mid September in a sunny corner near Loubaresse, c1000m, up on the Ardeche scarp is a prime locatino and date.
I had thought them to be Piedmont Ringlet but Roger Gibbons believes this to be Autumn Ringlet as the band on the upper forewing is not tapered enough for Piedmont and the pattern of the ocelli is best for Autumn Ringlet.
