Hi Antoine, there is http://code.google.com/p/sfshop/
i've signed up on the google group / took a peak into the code. imho still needs a lot of documentation and participation. i've test drove it 4-5 months ago but i was too keen on getting things done for a small project so i used a small footprint solution. (opencart) for now i think it's a good candidate for not reinventing the wheel. as of functionalities, code quality and so on i'm not in the position to asses those since i didn't bump my head into whatever problems might generate.
