Sorry for the rubbish digital pics, I've got more on proper film, I'll try to scan them in when they're processed.
 
Some nice photos, a Falcon in France?

Anyway, That is the biggest jump on front chainrings and what a huge rear gear, what mech takes all that chain slack up ?

I'd guess (Falcon, Hetchins, Dursley Pedersens, Moulton AM14) there was a strong British contingent.

Wide-range doubles were very popular at one time on French touring bikes. Feast your eyes:
