Is this ALL your code? Where is driver initialization and opening the page? — Prophet, Mar 08 '22 at 15:35
No, that's not all my code. StackOverflow didnt let me put it all — BGMine 13, Mar 08 '22 at 15:36
Really? Why you could put the code you showing here but some other code lines not? — Prophet, Mar 08 '22 at 15:38

To click() on the element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#button-submit[name='submit'][value='valider']"))).click()

Using XPATH:

WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='button-submit' and @name='submit'][@value='valider']"))).click()

Note: You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

@BGMine13 Somehow did you find some time to go through the reference discussions? — undetected Selenium, Mar 08 '22 at 15:48
