Here is a blog with photos of "Cycles Belliard."

Perhaps your father in law visited there once? Looks like a pleasant place. Could he have gotten decals from them to put on his bike when he repainted it?

Nice find Dave.

I've seen Gitanes and other French bikes with shop decals on the frames in place of the standard brand marques before.

The famous bike maker Urago sold Gitanes after they got out of bike building. They used Urago decals on some of the Gitanes they sold and some still had Gitane head tube badges.

Perhaps Cycles Belliard repainted the frame and put their decals on it too??? Confused
