Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast. "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw
That looks to me like Clematis Duchess of Edinburgh ....... colours, stamens and flowering time right and it looks similar to the one I grew in a previous garden.
Duchess of Edinburgh is certainly available from most online clematis suppliers ... I've grown it in a couple of gardens ... Not vigorous but worth giving it really good conditions
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I thikn they're both readily available - certainly online they are.
I've moved my Duchess to a better spot as they seem to make a lot of foliage growth, and the flowers are well beyond that. I think Richard mentioned that last year when someone else had an issue. It's certainly what I've found with it, hence the move to a spot where it can scramble through other planting, rather than just being against a fence.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
