The botanical family is lysimachia and it come sin many forms. Yours is lysimachia vulgaris and it can be invasive.
I have purple loosestrife growing by my natural pond and lysimachia clethroides alba which is a much more attractive form spreading happily, but controllably, in a large sunny bed and I have the seeds to grow some lysimachia Beaujolais after seeing it at Chelsea a couple of years ago.
Lysimachia Firecracker has purple foliage and yellow flowers and is good for moist soils. Loads more forms out there including some low growing ground cover.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
