It's a Caminade 'Caminargent' Touriste Dame Grand Luxe from the 1940's. The octagonal tubes are bolted into cast aluminium lugs. There is cork in the end of the tubes to stop them collapsing when they are tightened up! A close up of beautiful lugs here... http://vintagebicycle.wordpress.com/category/french-touring-racing-town-bicycles/page/2/
