Just seen
this. Ilford have brought out reversal paper.
You know what struck me? It was so nice to see a photographic emulsion that you can't get in anything smaller than 4 x 5

Interesting. I used paper instead of film when I had a go at pinhole photography. I shot on Ilford Multigrade III and then contact printed onto another sheet of paper. Worked fine. If and when I ever get round to making my 10x8 pinhole camera this seems worth a try.
Interesting that it states pinhole photography as a possible use.
Here is a pic of my pinhole camera made from an old lego carton;

GREAT !
I'll immediately pass the info to the French LF group !
So far in terms of B&W reversal photographic paper, the market only offered one example of this kind of paper, one EFKE-made (sold in the USA) or re-sold (??) under the brand Kraus Silver Gelatine Papier by a German photographer, Susanne kraus, who uses a giant portrait camera with direct-reversal B&W paper.
