I have a few of those in a bit bigger size. One of my top three bikes. Won many a race on one.
The geometry on this one is interesting. Pretty darn slack head angle and long chainstays, I have to measure mine, but unless the seat angle is steeper than I think, the builder had a cobblestone plan perhaps.

Nice! Don't get to see many PY10's. I'd really love some more pictures. Does it say Super Competition on the TT?

Yes it does actually it is a PY "Grand Luxe" and not the PY "Course Professionelle"
Course professionnelle also know as Prestige is Fabulous ... Hand crafted different lugs and panto fork and whistle (not quite sur it is the correct word but you get it isn't it) it even could be reynolds 531 3/10 slimer than rolling paper
Check out this thread for pictures of PY and great explanation by a French mechanic who knows
https://veloretrocourse.proboards.com...play&thread=15
I'll put some other picture when i'll have finished.

These are not very common on this side of the pond... the bike looks like a more modern PC45 or PH45 variant.
