"Philippe is a brand of frames well-known in many parts of France, the company still 
operating, as they have done for more than 25 years, at Boulevard de l'Industrie 
in the beautiful city of Blois, on the river Loire, about one hour SW of Paris."
"They produced a range of steel frames from amateur road type up to top of the 
range racing and touring models. The firm was one of the first to build high quality 
welded aluminium frames in the 90s and became better known for building the frames 
used by the Castorama team of Cyrille Guimard in 92/93, under Guimard's own 
Maxi-Sports brand."  Norris Lockley on the Classic Rendezvous email list
