Hallo here a foto of the red La Mondiale in the museum: this one of
from 1931 two stroke 350cc and their own engine
however they used also:
Jap, Sturmey Archer,Villiers,Blackburne
and French Chaise.
The company was involved in making machinery,and only 10 years in motorcycle
business.There factory was in Vilvoorde (Flemish part of Belgium,close
to Brussels).
I had the grand childeren on visit in the museum with lots of copies
of the company,family but he had no Motorcycle at that moment,these machines
are very rare.

I have attached a picture of my grandfather on his "La Mondiale". The
picture was taken sometime in the early 1930's. (That type of license plate
was introduced in Oct. 1930, the 'K' stands for København (Copenhagen,
Denmark)). That is all the information I have been able to find on this
bike.
If you have any information on "La Mondiale" or where to find out more,
you are welcome to contact me on widell at mail1.stofanet.dk .
Here is the only link I've found with Mondiale-info (and it's not much):
