Jenny- Yes, a true cedar, likely *Cedrus libani*, Cedar-of-Lebanon.
Many North American native trees area used as ornamentals in Europe, asnd for some reason they are often the ones that are out of favor back in North Ameica: silver maple, box-elder, and black locust as examples. Temperate Europe has a relative paucity of native tree species compared with North America and eastern Asia, so many of the garden or landscape trees are exotics---there are no magnolias, tuliptrees, tupelos, hickories, red oaks, or hemlocks native to Europe, just to name a few.
