Belle de Fontenay belongs to the very early varieties with a vegetation period of 70–85 days. The tubers have an elongated, club-shaped or kidney-shaped form, small size, light yellow skin, and yellow flesh.
The variety has low resistance to late blight, common scab, and viral diseases. The flesh is firm and waxy, has a low dry matter content, due to which it holds its shape well during heat treatment.
The storage period of the harvest is limited to 1–3 months. Due to high susceptibility to diseases, the variety is more often grown in private garden plots than in industrial production.
