My first French bike was an Azenave or Cazenave (age 8 after a two year campaign, the bike bug having attacked in full frenzy at age 6). There are probably 100s of obscure brands. Jeunet, Astra ...
The good Lejeunes are not that commmon. I am now the owner the PROUD owner of the celebrated green Meral. They are certainly rare. Especially in chartreuse (sp?)There is a home for every bike. It is very similar to a LeJeune, probably the same builder, and I have them hanging side by side as frames right now.
