I just picked this early-70s French bike up, today. It is a Liberia, a brand I've never heard of and can find little info on. It has a 49cm seat tube, 54cm top tube and a stand-over height of 30-3/4 inches.
Nylon-bodied Simplex derailleurs (in good working condition)...
But, the wheels have quick-release hubs and alloy rims.
It has been recently overhauled, from the looks of things, and everything is in good working order. I rode it around a bit, after adjusting the squeal out of the Mafac racer brakes.
Unfortunately the model name is illegible. It is "Type Somethingoranother".
The rest of the graphics are in pretty good shape. I love the logo on the fork leg.
Olympic rings on the seat tube.
Down tube.
Head tube.
I have a set of tourist (upright) bars with brake levers on them, out in the shop building, if someone would rather not have the drop bars. I think it would be a cool little city/campus/commute bike with the tourist bars.
Somewhere around a hundred bucks, depending on what you want.
