Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please identify the make and approximate year.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

I feel I should know this, but although it has a lot in common with the early (1890s) Peugeots (the so-called Types 4 - 6) they had rear-mounted V twin engines.
I'll guess it's French and also from a cycle maker.

Yes it's French. However, the information I have makes no mention of this company building cycles, only cars, this being their first model.

No.
(I didn't know that at some point a clothing company and a millionaire superhero had joined forces to produce cars!  ;D ;D)

No prewar puzzle of mine gets past the almighty Fëdor! Underberg is correct. The first car from this company based in Nantes had an air-cooled, single-cylinder engine supplied by Gaillardet. These drawings were published in the October 1900 issue of Popular Science magazine.
