Mouches Exquises are double hackled flies that were first mentioned in a book by Doctor Juge named "Pecheur de Truites" from 1959. Doctor Juge was from Chamberet in the Corrèze. He mentions conceiving of the pattern in 1918.
Pequegnot makes a minor tweak by using a smaller hackle in the rear and a longer one at the head so the fly cocks back on the water keeping the tippet in a swan neck shape.
The hackles should have an orientation where they bend back from each other and this is achieved by having the shiny sides facing each other and the center of the shank.
Enjoy!
