Stronglight cranks?

Or TA?

From the looks of the fork, stem and lugs, I'm guessing it's a French thing.

someone tried to at some point and time though! hah. i gave the crank a beating with a rubber hammer... it's not going anywhere. for sure.

thanks for your concern though.

It's been bothering me for days. And here they are, from Peugeotshow. It looks like it's a Peugeot PX50, a late-50s/early-60s randonneur/touring bike with 650b wheels (a little bigger than 26" mountain, a little smaller than 700c road).

More colorful shots are here, at Classicrendezvous.

Personally, I'm growing a lot more attracted to the French constructeur touring style: fenders, racks, braze-ons for every gadget, self-contained touring with elegance. Looks like you have a good base for a period restoration, should you ever feel so inclined.
