I have a bunch of seed that I would like to pass on. This is a true cantaloupe, not a muskmelon that grocery stores call cantaloupes. Last year the fragrance from the ripened melons would fill my garden. They slip when ripe, so it's easy to tell when they are ready to pick. Here's some more info on it from Seed Savers Exchange:
French heirloom listed by Vilmorin in 1885. Translates to "Delight of the Table." Ribbed fruits have sweet orange flesh, weigh about one pound. Very hard-to-find, almost extinct. 85-90 days.
