"Pié sapin" also known as "larb dé Nouel", isn't it?
But an araucaria is not a pine tree either. Though they belong to the same order ("Pinales"), their families are different: Pinaceae for the pine trees and Araucariaceae for the araucarias. The Araucariaceae is a family of plants that is said to date from the Jurassic period, and nowadays it is found in the Southern Hemisphere mostly.

Doing some drama!
Isn't this “fir tree” an araucaria by any chance? (Say Araucaria columnaris.)
But it looks as if this particular one doesn't have many “carias”.

Yes, it is.
So this "fir tree" is our good old "pied sapin."
