Just found this is in the street*
Some kind of 1970s touring bike I guess. No braise-ons for the cabling but lots for front and back racks, dynamo. Frame is nearly spotless, few scrathces on the decals but sound apart from that. Mud guards look in really good condition. Old leather saddle - see branding detail. Not heard of the tubing, guess its own brand. Been looking for a bigger frame to try out having risers instead of bullbars so this will do. Will keep you updated.

*The French town I'm staying in is divided into 4 sections and each section has a big rubbish disposal day once a month. So every week you can go out round town looking through the big crap that people throw away. This week was the turn of one of the more affluent areas and I found this bike (3rd bike this year :)). Guessing it was being thrown away due to lack of handleage.
