    I find this acer today and have no idea of which species it could be.

    Someone has an idea ?

    To make it clearer, I cut the 5 parts of the multifoliate leaf on the second picture.

    Thank you

    Considering the shape of the samaras, don't you think it could be an Acer platanoïdes cultivar ?

    Yes: cutleaf Norway maple. You will be able to find it in maple books (and others).

    I found Acer platanoïdes 'dissectum' or Acer platanoïdes 'Lorbergii'

    I vote for A. macrophyllum or one of its cultivars

    I don't think so.

    If you look closer to the samaras shape on the first post of this thread, you'll seed the angle between the 2 samaras which is characteristic of platanoïdes.
    Macrophyllum samaras are more narrow as you can see here

    And I have already seen macrophyllum leaves and they are really bigger than these leaves (even if it's not obvious on these photos).

    Agreed with Acer platanoïdes 'Dissectum'
