150 is a little high, though I imagine the paint can be cleaned up a good amount . If I really wanted a French mixte this one does seem pretty.

In my experience the French only had the faintest idea of what paint was, so that one looks pretty darn good. Value? It's an attractive bike but low end components would max it out at around $120 for me.

I sold the same frame but in a metallic orange color with black lugs with a mismatched fork for 100 last week. Not to mention the paint was far from perfect and large section of paint missing. French parts are a hit or miss but even low end parts sell pretty good for me on eBay.

Hit it with some polishing compound and I think you could do better than the prices above. I had a similar Jeunet, men's style, with better cosmetics. I ended up converting to single speed, as the Simplex FD was cracked (typical).

I landed an apparent sibling of your bike earlier today at a garage sale. Same color, fewer decals, and a bit more rust. Were you ever able to find out anything about the model / vintage of this bike?

I was looking at buying, not selling. Never did the deal, but that is the model name, early 1970's.

Franche-Comte is not the model name. It is a reference to a region in eastern France. All of Jeunet's boom era models are named after the region. Based on the model names, Jeunet were almost certainly manufactured in the city of Dole.
Jeunet model 611, Dole Stadium: Named after the stadium in the city of Dole. The Jeunet headbadge is the city's coat of arms.
Jenunet model 610, Jura Landscape: Named after the region in which the city of Dole is located.
Jeunet model 620, River Doubs: Named after the river on which banks the city of Dole is located.
Jeunet 630, Dole Flower Fountain: Named after Rosset's fountain, L'Enfant, which resides in Dole's city square, La Place aux Fleurs.
Jeunet 640, Louis Pasteur Memorial: Named after Dole's most famous resident.
The subject bicycle is a Jeunet model 611, Dole Stadium.

My ignorance again, as I've never seen a Jeunet Dole Stadium advertised.

Well, that's the advantage of having been a LBS mechanic and manager during the boom and having kept a lot of the literature. We didn't carry Jeunet but had access to them via one of our distributors. I owned the top, post boom model for a while.
