Its a french brand from Saint Etienne that made mopeds and everything else with two wheels. It folded some time back. A fairly small outfit. Im not sure any of the frames were their own work. Now whilst no Columbus EL frame should be worthless, espeially one with nice detail thats more or less what it amounts to, the provenance is non existant and the frames sell for peanuts on Leboncoin... so its an excellent way to get a frame with that tubeset. From what ive seen in search results thats the nicest thing they sold.
