Hi, Gyro_T-
The bike is probably a Bertin C 34. Its frame and forks are Vitus 888/Durifort, a plain gauge type of tubing manufactured by Ateliers de la Rive. You can find more information at Classic Rendezvous and Bertin Classic Cycles. The bike appears to be late 70s to early 80s based on its decal scheme but Bertin could be very loose on the decals. The lack of serial number is not all that atypical either. The equipment seems to be original or at least period correct and complete. I'm sure your daughter will enjoy the bike. Bertin made very nice bikes which were always a cut above the average compared to equivalent models from Gitane and Peugeot.
