I have a 26.4 fluted simplex. It was inserted into a bike once, never ridden. It will not be inexpensive.

JPR's are as French as can be, and the two bolt microadjust on it works a treat! Plus!, not as expensive as Simplex seatpost.
There's always a few for sale at eBay, but you might have to wait sometimes for the exact right size to come up....

OP appears to have a 3ttt Record stem. Not French but might be neat to have a matching 3ttt seatpost.
Although, my vote to the Simplex. Even for an Italian ride.
