It's a kluged together ~1974 Gitane, maybe a late 1973 Interclub frame - maybe a European version.

Gitane switched from foil decals to the yellow or green clear film stickers like on this bike at the beginning 1974. During the switch over in late 1973, there were some cross-overs in components.

From at least the early 1960's ALL Gitanes with Reynolds 531 tubing, either just the 3 the main tubes or full Reynolds had forged dropouts: Simplex, Huret or Campagnolo. Never stamped steel dropouts.

The Interclub models from the bike boom to the mid 70's had brake cable clips on the top tubes rather than brazed on cable stops that were used on the lower end models.

Gitane used Campagnolo Nuovo Tipo hubs on ~1972-1976 Tour de France bikes not on Interclubs. Someone changed the Nuovo Tipo QR axles to nutted axles**********?

Interclubs had alloy bars not chrome plated steel bars.

I've never seen those style Weinmann side pulls on a Gitane.

Gitanes didn't come with quill style pedals except on a few top end models.

The Sugino Maxy cranks may have come with the frame.

The frame is probably made of medium weight carbon steel. They took 25.8mm seatposts (or there abouts).

These larger frames ride pretty well because they can flex more that smaller ones and will absorb road shocks well.

A head tube decal would be a good indicator of the year. The first picture shows a 1974 sticker, the second is from 1975-76.
