Chantal the first looks like Hardenbergia comptoniana.  I do not think its hardy enough for the Languedoc.  Not sure of the second one.

 I have gardened in sub-tropical Florida, maritime UK, continental Europe and the Mediterranean basin, France. Of the 4 I have found that the most difficult climate for gardening is the latter.

Chantal,

The first is Callerya reticulata, syn. Millettia reticulata, a climber native to china, known also as 'Evergreen Wisteria'.

The second is probably Atriplex nummularia.

Thank you for your answers, you both.
Do you think I could grow the Callerya here in Languedoc in a very hot wall (south faced) ?
I sowed seeds of Hardenbergia 2 or 3 years ago and they germinated well, but I lost them during the winter because I planted them outside with no protection against frost. That's a shame because I like it very much.

On the other hand, I think it would be ok for the Atriplex.
