About the marque
- Founded
- 1899 – 1902
- Headquarters
- Lyon, France
Engineer-constructor Eugène Allard-Latour began building petroleum-fueled voiturettes at Lyon in 1899. His first known car appeared at the city's Salon de l'Auto et du Cycle that December with its engine beneath the seat and belt drive to the rear axle. Later examples adopted chain final drive, and at least one carried vis-à-vis coachwork, reportedly by Declérieux. Sales remained concentrated around Lyon and production ceased in 1902 after only a small, unquantified number. No dependable commercial model names, engine dimensions or output figures survive.
