Hi, welcome to the Forum.

Thanks for posting the pictures! Wink

Your bike is probably a late 1975 or 1976 European model Gitane Gran Sport Deluxe. It looks like it's in very good condition.

It's a European model because most Gitanes imported into the US, especially by the mid 70s didn't come equipped with Huret Svelto derailleurs.
