What kind of bike did I just buy?

I just bought a bike and I can't figure out what kind of frame and brakes it has.

I found that the derailleurs were made by DNB Japan somewhere around 1960 and that the handlebar is french (Guidon Phillipe), but other than that , this bike is a mistery to me.

The brakes only have a logo on them and the frame has only a number and a logo on the back. Underneath all the black paint, in the front, is a sticker but there is no way I can peel just the paint without damaging the sticker...

I would love to know what frame I am dealing with because the bike (even though it has seen better days) works great and I would like to take a shot at restoring it.

dunno, but the pedals and bars point to it being french.

The handlebar and the pedals are french but... does that mean that the frame is french too?

Here's another question:
Have you ever seen a bike equiped with DNB derailleurs before?
