appears all original save for front gear mech, wheels & saddle
wheels well below calibre of cycle with their five-piece steel hubs
original saddle would have been Brooks Professional
original wheels Normandy Luxe Competition 36 hole hubs with MAVIC Montlhery tubular rims, Robergel Trois Etoiles DB light gauge stainless spokes & Hutchinson 280 gram cotton tubular tyres

Juvela beat me to it and is way more expert than myself, but I also say it is a '73 based on the serial number. It cannot be a 1963, and although some of the info says a 6 digit serial number means it is 1960s vintage, I think this one is 70s based upon decals and some other details.
Yes, the front derailer is a replacement, probably because the original broke, which was common. I believe they were still using Delrin in 73.
Regarding the serial number issue, it should have been on a removable aluminum plate, as described in this information from Classic Rendezvous...Serial Numbers
Peugeots are typically marked with a serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket. Bikes built in the 1960's have the numbers stamped directly in the BB shell, and often have Nervex trademark and bottom bracket tube angle markings as well.There are six digits used on bikes from the 50's and 60's and seven digits used on bikes from the 70's. Bicycles built during the 80's have eight digits and a letter prefix. Around 1970, Peugeot began stamping the numbers on an aluminum plate which was riveted to the underside of the bottom bracket shell. It is unclear whether this applied to all bicycles. Some examples have gaps in the serial numbers. The flaw to this arrangement is the ease with which serial number plates are removed. Numerous Peugeots originally numbered with riveted plates can now be identified only by their decal schemes.Some examples have lower numerical serial numbers while having later decal schemes. By the end of the 1970's, Peugeot serial numbers were once again stamped in a more permanent fashion. Peugeots built in France during the 1980's can be dated by year through use of their serial numbers. Following a letter prefix, typically Y or B, the first number of the numeral code indicates the bicycle's model year (ex. PKN-10 #B 0667631, built in 1980). Track bicycles, at least, appeared to have their numbers stamped on the left rear dropout.

It's a joy to witness masters spread knowledge.
Thank you guys! It's a pleasure to ride, and now I can say more than "Peugeot" when they ask me what I ride 😂

the earliest Criterium model front mechs retained a bit of Delrin
hey, at least Lucien decided to enter the twentieth century by going to a pantograph design from ye olde poke stick...

Common decency isn't completely lost in this world. You guys rock. Love this forum.
Anyway, one final question. What's it worth?
Should I put it in a glass case or jb weld the sprocket? Lol

Doesn't want the glass case or the JB Weld. Ride it. You'll enjoy it.

With those wheels, this is maybe worth around $200 but I'm not in a high dollar market. Well worth fixing up and riding.
