Coeur de Toro looks like a development of Coeur de Boeuf and Zebrino looks like a Red Zebra but otherwise I don't recognise any of the names.
Many tomatoes are "international" eg our "Pineapple" is the french variety Annanas... potato Leaf White takes some translating as well... we'll get DebP onto it!! ;D
Funnily enough Baumaux use a lot of English - our Pineapple Tomato is...........Tomato Pineapple :)

pomme de terre 'leaf' blanc, isn't it ;D ;D ;D
Appropriate moment to remind people of the French Navy's motto?
"To the water it is the hour"
Blanche a feuilles de pomme de terre, with an acute accent on the "a" according to the book Manics!! ;D
