The Stampe is an oddity, but from France that's not unusual. (Slam)

Generally a bipane will have the lower wing around two degrees more positive than the upper, and as I understand it that's to make the lower wing stall first, leading to a more gentle stall and recovery.

And in spite of its reversal of the usual decalage (there's that word again) the Stampe was a gentle flier.
