Framboise is the French word for raspberry.  It is not necessarilly a 
raspberry brandy.

Fraise is the French word for strawberry.

A currant is a small fruit that is different than a raspberry.

Groiseille is the French word for redcurrant

I do not know the French word for whitecurrent.

Crème de cassis is a blood-red, sweet, black currant-flavored liqueur. It 
dates back to the 16th century, first produced by monks in France as a cure 
for snakebites, jaundice, and wretchedness. 

This cordial works well in pousse-cafés and some cocktails, but is most 
commonly mixed with just vermouth, white wine, or soda water.

Chambord raspberry liqueur is a French liqueur with an intense flavor of 
black-raspberries, fruits, herbs and honey. The taste is sweet, and it has a 
ruby red color.

Its full name is Chambord Liqueur Royale De France, and it is produced by 
Charles Jacquin Et Cie

You only interchange the Creme de Cassis (cream of blackcurrant) and Chambord 
when you have only one, and not the other.  But they are different fruits.
