Looks a lot like hakonechloa to me - pretty grass that likes damp conditions and whose stems turn purple as the weather cools. It will all fade to straw colour over winter and then, come spring, start to re-grow with fresh stems. Old shoots and stems should be removed as soon as new shoots show and before they get big enough to have their tips damaged by the cut back.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Definately not Crocosmia. This plant has very thin stems with big leaves at the end. But I'm glad to hear it's not bamboo as my mum had a major problem with it in her garden.
I just didn't know if it was a baby bamboo
I'm going to look up hakonechloa and hopefully this will be it
Another vote for Hakonechloa, probably the variety macra Aureola which is the one that I have, and it looks just the same. Hard to be sure when it's dying back for the winter though.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
