Henri Vallée Motorcycles

Constructed in 1905, the motorcycle was water-cooled. Unfortunately it did not gain popularity.

Henri Vallée (1865–1916) founded a bicycle production company in Le Mans in 1890, and in 1895 the name was changed to Société des Automobiles Vallée, at which time automobile construction began.

M. Vallée was studious and inventive, and built many automobiles. He died tragically by drowning at the age of 51.
