This is the Georges Irat Fourgonette 3 ch, an electric van of 150 kg payload, first shown at the 1941 Foire de Lyon. It was accompanied by a small roadster of similar looks that had a smaller electric 2 ch engine. The roadster was originally built for Georges Irat's personal use only, but eventually both cars were produced in small numbers.

Thanks Wendax.
I'll alter the date to 1941 and of course, replace "electric van" with "fourgonette"
