This butterfly looks very much like armoricanus to me, but there
is a suspicion of a low altitude and early alveus.

I invite comment on this butterfly.
It is of course possible I've mixed both species together but of course
I have my reasons for believing them to be armoricanus. These two
species fly together over much of Spain, southern and central France and
the Alps, armoricanus extending to Poland and Greece and
eastwards. They both fly in high summer.
