We too love old steel and find the ride of the two steel tandems we have owned great. I will do research on the Gitane and Motobecane tandems, any other makes to consider?

Thanks again.
Leboncoin is sort if a French Version of Craigslist. It is not bike-specific.

As for brands to look for, I wish I could help more, but I have rarely seen a Tandem in use in France. That said, I spend most of my time in cities where the bikes tend to be commuter machines, and tandems would not suit. Good luck on your search!
