Your Louisson Bobet has a lot of character. I found a similar 650A mixte for my daughter. Are there brand markings on the crankset and rims?

Nice find! The tripe chain set is a nice touch. As are the CLB catilever brakes.

for part of his career Bobet was sponsored by Stella
these Mercier built Bobet examples seem to far outnumber the Stella produced ones
here he is riding for Stella in the TdF of 1953 -
this wonderful poster commemorates his Stella period -
here is a Stella built Bobet badged cycle of 1970 -
