I am finally able to post some photos. From the headbadge it looks like a 1980 model. Although the handlebar stem was replaced, I do have the original.

Those specific dropouts, those specific stronglight 104 cranks and the inclusion of water bottle cage bosses would lead me to also believe it’s an ‘80 model. Everything else is pretty much exactly as expected. Normandy hubs, mavic rims, sinplex SJ. Not sure about the front derailluer though. What really gives it away though are the weinmann brakes. ‘79 model had mafac centerpulls. There are a lot of ’upgrades’ as well. Like the stem, and those brake levers are certainly not original. You say it’s a french market model? I would believe that, because “officially” the 1980 export model didn’t come in that silver colour. Only blue, pearl white and black, but the 1979 model did. Nothing is ever straight forward or easy with Peugeot, especially in the 70s.
Heres a ‘79 I owned. Ended up getting rid of the it because after getting struck by three cars and having had wheels replaced in each incident (the reason it has ugly mismatched wheels) I decided it was a bad luck bike.

Gumwall to me means thick rubber of contrasting lighter color. Skinwall means thin sidewall rubber, with casing threads visible (or veeery thin in the case of handmade tires).
Paselas have only a thin coating of rubber molded onto their sidewalls, so I would never call them gumwalls and can't recall having seen them described that way in any catalog.
I have seen catalogs take liberties with the use of both words in a few cases, so some confusion apparently still exists as to what each term means.

Looks like I will need to swap out the brake cables. Any recommendation?
