Traditionally, the folkdance was associated with the provinces of Vavarais, Languedoc, Dauphiné, and Provence in southern France, and it became popular as a court dance during the reign of Louis XIV (Little 2001).
Also in 2013, Trevor P. Wagler re-arranged the orchestral version down to a quintet and was played at Wilfrid Laurier University, in four movements: Prelude, Forlane, Menuet and Rigaudon.
