While I know little about non-boom era Gitane, that appears to be an Asian serial number format for 1982 or 1992. The latter is by far the better candidate given the dual bottle mounts, internal cable routing and uni-crown fork. Given the era, I wouldn't be surprised if Gitane, like most other European manufacturers, was having a lot of their production done in Asia. There may not be any French indicators.
