I have found old floppy disks that belonged to my late Dad, and they contain photos I would like to retrieve. Do you know any floppy disk reader that is compatible with my Mac 10.15.6 ?

You will need to locate hardware that can read floppy disk of your form factor for starters—

8 inche, 5 1⁄4-inch, ​3 1⁄2 inch ?

A computer repair shop may have such antiquated or transitional hardware to help in your efforts— otherwise tracking down the hardware/computer/drive that accepts the floppy.

and I will add— data on floppy is easily corrupted—The most frequent error message is that your floppy disk is not formatted; in that case proceed with caution ref: https://recoverit.wondershare.com/harddrive-recovery/recover-data-from-floppy-disk.html

Local user groups, Macintosh computer clubs is another great resource for vintage and old hardware and the enthusiast that keep them going.
