    Might be iris sibirica..

    Is it growing in a clump or from a single bulb (Dutch iris) or does it have a rhizome like root ginger? 
    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

    Not sure as it was on its own growing in the countryside. Just saw it whilst out walking near the coast.

    In that case, it's more likley to be iris foetidissima which is a native and produces bright orange-red berries later on
