Production1897–1899
Recorded originFrance
ClassMotor tricycle
Gaston Barré's first motor vehicles, assembled after his Niort cycle business expanded beyond bicycles. Tricycle and quadricycle forms remain grouped because no dependable model names or technical split survives; they precede the December 1899 automobile and are not backdated as full series cars.
