Company history

Gustave Fouillaron founded the company in Angers in 1899 as a bicycle workshop. In 1900 the company moved to Levallois-Perret . The construction of automobiles began. Production ended in 1914.

Models

The first models were similar to Renault models in that the radiator was mounted behind the engine. From 1904, the radiator was placed in front of the engine and the models were given a round grille reminiscent of Delaunay-Belleville models . There were built-in motors with one to six cylinders of Buchet , De Dion-Bouton and other manufacturers are used. The transmission worked with adjustable pulleys according to its own design.

Fouillaron presented two models at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris in 1901 , which were equipped with single-cylinder engines from De Dion-Bouton with 6 hp and 8 hp respectively.

A vehicle of this brand can be viewed in the Cité de l'Automobile in Mulhouse .
