I think it's a cotinus coggygria but not "Royal purple" which has really deep purple coloured foliage. There are other forms with more coppery coloured foliage and green and even golden foliage - https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/4552/i-Cotinus-coggygria-i/Details for care info.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
