I used to fly it as a pax in the early 80s.
It had a reputation of a very manouverable (sp?) aircraft.
The bank angles and especially roll rates seemed higher than usually experienced on airliners, especially on some ORY-GNB flights, with westerly condition (approaches to RWY27).

There was a saying that some IT pilots were somehow excited being able to hold the yoke of a Dassault airplane "La chasse b.....l !"
