No pictures I'm afraid.
My little brother lives in the Dordogne. In his wood, he found a tree
approx 30 feet high with laburnum shaped flowers but they are pink
mauve.
Now it has finished flowering it has black lupin like seed pods. The
leaves
are not like laburnum apparently but more like a plum tree according to
my
sister in law. My brother is going to send me one of the pods to try to
grow
here.

Possibly Cercis siquiliastrum, the Judas tree?
