So I bought this mystery frame from eBay, bit of an impulse purchase really.
All I know about it a this point:
-Really small: 49x46 or in the ballpark (see pics) I'm 5,3" / 160 cm with short legs and struggling to stand over my 650B-converted 50cm Rossin
-Camus 779 tubing transfer: non-fancy, seamed straight gauge tubing. Weigh as per the seller is: frame 2088gr fork 688gr
-Simplex dropouts and forkends
-French threaded everything
-Spidel "fixed" BB cup, points to the 1970's?
-"2044" marking in two spots, bottom of BB shell and steerer tube
So what might it be? Maybe made by one of France's once hundreds of bikeshops/small time (frame)builders?

It's pretty little frameset with some interesting details, as long is I don't know the manufacturer I'll call it Albert after the author whose last name it bears
