The variety was developed in the 19th century in the Gennevilliers area of France. It is characterized as productive and vigorous, distinguished by a large leaf apparatus compared to modern compact varieties.
The roots are suitable for fresh consumption, boiling, and stewing. The variety is a traditional landrace that may be inferior to modern hybrids in terms of root shape uniformity and disease resistance, particularly to Septoria.
