Not French, but from a nearby land.

German?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir.

[SeaLion]

It is the british Humber Humberette cyclecar, with a 8 bhp vee-twin mounted transversly and in-unit with the three speed gearbox, shaft drive and full differential. The Humberette was offered from 1903. The price was £120, watercooling was a £15 option.

EDIT: A few letters was left out in the answer.

[Otto Puzzell]

Correct!

[Paul Jaray]

The title should be Humber Humberette

It's going to be a long weekend, I suspect...

Humberette picture replaced.

[Allan L]

Humberette picture replaced.

Thanks!
However if I may comment, I think that if that was the original picture, I'd say it was the single-cylinder job of 1903-5 or so, not the rather later V-twin as described by SeaLion which was available in air- or water-cooled versions.

[Otto Puzzell]

I couldn't find the original pic - I'll dig deeper.

[Otto Puzzell]

Better?

[Allan L]

Better?

Yes that's a 1913 V-twin Humberette alright.
