I expected them to be called Persiennes but in fact they seen to be called Volets Pliants ( assume you mean the ones which fold back into the window on door opening rather than against the wall

Google.fr "Volets Metal" with country ste to France.

Ours worked fine once I had sprayed penetrating oil into the hinge pins and rerevited a couple of hinges.  No idea of make they came with the house.

The fanfold ones are called Persiennes, and if they are mounted on a frame enabling them to pivot at the top when closed, allowing a bit of air in at the bottom, tey are called Persiennes Italiennes.

If you have them in wood and they face either south or west, then make sure they are  a) well painted and  b) not left folded back for months on end or you will find the panels have swollen sufficiently to prevent them from forming a flat face again (bitter experience talking here).
