Thank you for your information, great detail , I could just make out A. DUPRAT in the flutes on the cranks the ring looks rather interesting as it's normally hidden in the chain case. Think it may have seen Mafac on the lever and has an alloy seat post with round top

Here is a gorgeous porteuer. 1966 Peugeot on Leboncoin. Translation below.

Superb original 1966 Peugeot cargo bike.

In good condition.

Size 57cm from the top tube to the bottom bracket.

Gallet 26.A leather saddle.

Rigida Chrolux wheels.

Peugeot bell.

Soubitez lights.

Torpedo rear hubs.

Bebolux front brakes.

Works very well.

A pair of tyres will be needed.

Funny I was thinking that.

It would ruin your Brunch.

@vcballbat - that porteur will be terribly hard to identify and date. I first thought a Motoconfort, but I don't think it is.

Very similar mudguards which are very distinctive. This is a Cazenave but a very different frame and probably later.

Tend to agree this is from a smaller builder.
