I think the French decals were added later, and that it originally had an English language decal. Mine came new in 1973 with the decal looking simply like it was added on the way out the door even though it was a custom, and it didn't last long. With the Campy dropouts it is probably double butted 531.
A very pretty bike indeed. Congrats.
