That looks like either a mixed tubeset or plain gauge 531 sticker -- can you quote the writing on it?

The seat post diameter will tell you whether it is double-butted 531 (26.4mm for a French bike with 28.0mm OD seat tube) or plain gauge (about 25.8mm).

I wonder if Mercier made a model between the 300 and the 100, i.e., perhaps something comparable to the Peugeot PR/PKN-10.
