Order Phasmida, family Phyllidae ("Walking sticks" ), if you ask me..
Genera Bacillus, Leptynia and Clonopsis are known for southern Europe.

Yes, and this one, viewing the head and the antennae, is Clonopsis gallica.

Thank you Andre and IsidroSmile

Isidro, are you sure that there aren't any other possibilities?

Not completely completely sure, but 90% probably.
