Ok, this makes a bit more sense now: your request actually might use
the configuration shown.

Are you sure that you have copy-pasted exactly the response? I would have
expected a redirect to http://subdomain.domain.fr/subdomain/directory/
-- but the actual redirect comes from the configuration that you have
not yet shown.

Your rewrite says that you *do* want the request to be handled like
http://subdomain.domain.fr/subdomain/directory, so I'm still not sure
what the actual full end intention is.

It does look to me like

 server_name subdomain.domain.fr;
 root /var/www/domain.fr/web/subdomain;

is probably what you really want, but I guess there is some reason why
you don't just use that?

Good luck with it,
