The Rare Poultry Society describes an upstanding French table breed with a long, powerful body, prominent breast and strong clean legs. Its head carries two nearly upright comb spikes, large white earlobes and conspicuous nostrils. The British description does not call for a full crest, although a few upright feathers may be present. This combination distinguishes it from other French V-combed or crested populations.
