Thanks everyone for the replies! I'm excited to start this project, and from the very little bit of info I could dig up in forum archives, figured it might be an early-mid 70's 200 model. Thanks for the heads up about the WTB section too.

Likely not news to you guys, but it might be of interest to frustrated googlers with stickers on their bikes...I was able to get a little info about "Tubes Allege" on a Peugot site:

"The A- and U-series bicycles of the early to mid-1970s can generally be identified by the "Tube Special Allege Peugeot" decal on their seat tube, steel cottered cranks (i.e., cotter pins are present on the pedal arms), and chrome-plated steel rims..."Tube Special Allege" translates to "Specially Lightened Tubing" (Sheldon Brown, personal communication)."
