The dance was devised to honour Catherine Bonner for her long term service to Scottish Country Dancing in the Sydney area, particularly to the St John's Wahroonga and Gosford Classes. The dance was programmed as a 'Mystery Dance' for the Gosford Class Social in February 2010, with music selected by Chris Duncan. The Social was a celebration of her 80th birthday, her service to Gosford Class and her receiving a Branch Award through Sydney Branch.  

The title refers to Catherine having been born in France, her name and her reputation in the Sydney area.
