Be aware that you may have to shim the replacement derailleur to get it to sufficiently tighten to the seat tube. French bicycles used slightly smaller diameter (28mm) seat tubes versus the 28.6mm that most front derailleurs are designed around. Some derailleurs have very stiff clamps that are not ductile enough to form to the slightly smaller diameter seat tube.
