I used to love those old Peugeot touring machines.
I was seriously looking at getting one sometime in the mid 1970s, but never did.
I loved those front racks
The only thing I'd be careful about is the the tyres - they make look ok but if the casing is starting to perish they could fail unexpectedly!
Non-index gearing is how we rolled for decades!
Enjoy it

@MikeFromLFE you're right, the tires (tyres 🇬🇧) look suspicious. I kept the pressure at the lower edge. And you're right again, in my youth I rode thousands of km, sometimes well above 200 km per day, with non-indexed shifters and 2x6 speeds. Some people say geared bikes are overrated. Did I mention that 1970s folding bike with a 2-speed F&S hub? @vastverzet
