French Motorcycles

Salmson Mopeds

Manufactured by Ets Jeanne & Philippe, 196-198 bd Voltaire, Paris

In the 1950s the firm built mopeds fitted with Le Poulain, Junior and VAP 55 engines.

They marketed the Ydral-powered Cote d'Azur from Mercier under the Salmson marque.

Salmson also built La France bicycles, unrelated to the motorcycles of that name.
