Looks legit, a sort of transitional 1983 (frame) -1984 (components) bike. Or maybe just 1984 bike with 1983 colors?
Good luck.

The Jeunet looks to be about 54cm. This one looks to be around 58cm.
If you're not familiar with what size bike you should be on- be very careful about making sure it's comfortable to you- not "I'll get used to it" comfortable. There's lots of theories about how you should determine your fit.

The two bikes that I've seen that you've posted about being interested in are very different size-wise.
The Jeunet looks to be about 54cm. This one looks to be around 58cm.
