Blonde d’Aquitaine
(most common name)
(transboundary/brand name)

(local/other name):
• La race Blonde d’Aquitaine
local/other name (English):
• Aquitaine Blond

The Blonde d’Aquitaine was founded on the following three ancient breeds:
• Garonnais (the most important and which may also have a relationship to the Devon due to trade)
• Quersey (which had been crossbred with the Durham/Shorthorn and Limousin)
• Pyrenean Blond (a combination of three local strains and several varieties — of which only the Lourdais and Béarnais have survived and were not absorbed)
