You probably don't need a photo - that sounds like a mullein. In the UK
it would mostly likely be Verbascum thapsus, but perhaps things are
different in Normandy.

I'm impressed! I googled Verbascum thapsus and the photos of "Great
Mullein" look just like the plant!
Does that mean I can't post of photo of it :-( (


No - photo's are awlays fun :~)

It is quite a spectacular plant size wise. I'm six feet and it is now
taller than me. The upper part of the flower spike seems to curl and track
the sun during the day bending towards it. On cloudy days it points
straight up.
