Bonjour Celine! Regarding my suggestion, your bird is definitely one of the mollymawks. The taxonomy of those however seems to be under revision and it's a bit of a mess. in my Australian bird guide it is known as the yellow-nosed albatross, and the scientific name given is Diomedea (Thalassarche) chlororhynchos
