Sweet colour.
I thought that too at first, but it's called 'ovoid' for a reason! It's the french manufacturer's take on aero at an early stage. The top tube is flattened near the headset, and the down tube is round all along but has a very slight curve near the headset too. Very hard to explain, but you can see that it was meant to be this way when you have the frame in front of you.
