Can you follow a tree key........?

At Yzeures we decided to have a look at the river, and were walking through the park when we noticed this tree, near to the swimming pool complex …..



The closest I can get in my tree guide is an Indian Bean-tree (Catalpa bignoniodes), but the leaves, although hairy, weren’t quite the right shape.  It did have the long bean-like capsules.The leaf has dried out a bit here!


Perhaps someone will be able to identify it, although it will probably be difficult from my not such clear photographs!
