There is a mistake in the annotations. The similarities are not with Allard's Cotillon à huit, but with Soucy's Le Cotillon, recorded in 1927. Here's the abc: X: 51 T:51.

I have another version (square!) from Jean-Baptiste April, fiddler recorded by Marius Barbeau in 1918. Here's the abc: X:12 T: 12. Quadrille - 5e partie M: 2/2 L: 1/8 C: Jean-Baptiste April / Fonds Barbeau MCH / 1918 K: G "A"Bc|dcBd g2{a}gf | edea gfgB | GABG dGBG | FGAG FGAd | !

Finally, Philippe Bruneau also recorded the tune as Reel de Ste-Blandine, first tune on his 1974 Philo Records album.
