I found this on the "Seeds of Diversity" site. http://www.seeds.ca They
are comments from several people:

Dufresne: [Pink/Purple] Nice flavour. Good producer. An heirloom variety
developed by "le Frere Savignac", a renowned plant breeder. I have a
symbolic affection for this precious variety.

Dufresne: [Pink/Purple] Large, round fruit is sweet and flavourful. Soft,
juicy texture.

Dufresne: [Pink/Purple] Indeterminate. Medium sized pink fruit has very good
taste. Very productive. Heirloom variety developed by Frere Savignac. Days
to
maturity: 75 - 80
