Seriously, really depends as with ANY bike will the result fit your needs? Have you assessed basically what needs to be done?

on a French bike-
things that might crop up-
Pivo “death” stem
simplex black plastic derailleurs
( rear ... maybe, front, exchange before trouble)
rigida steel rims- any steel rim when wet does not stop well.

a truthful assessment on your experience.
if a first time project, stick with a Japanese bike. Cables, tubes, tires, and the associated bits are probably all you will require.
