Get category name and description

[justouletdk]

Hello,

I am editing the scenes to promote product categories instead of specific products. I managed to get the default category ID and category url as well as image url. For example:

{$link->getcategorylink($product.details->id_category_default)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

However, i am having troubles getting category name and description. Any ideas?

{$cat = $product->id_category_default}
 {if $cat == 1}
Retour au catalogue
           {else}
getcategorylink($cat)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" class="btn_bleu">Retour au catalogue
           {/if}
