We discuss the Guichard duality for conformally flat hypersurfaces in a Euclidean ambient space. This duality gives rise to a Goursat-type transformation for conformally flat hypersurfaces, which is generically essential. Using a suitable representation of the associated family of a conformally flat hypersurface in Euclidean space, its dual as well as conformal images of their canonical principal Guichard net(s) are recovered from the family. It is shown that the hypersurface and its dual can be reconstructed from a Ribaucour pair of Guichard nets.
