Specially conceived to fly to
the Boulangerie, get the highest possible number of baguettes and croissants
and get back on time for breakfast with minimum fuss.
A collaborative venture between Nicolas Roland Payen and Aubrun originated this cute little French plane that was propelled by a 25 hp AVA engine.

It flew in 1935 and 1936
receiving later a 40 hp engine which modified a tad the nose profile.
At 4.95 meters of wingspan this tiny plane was a consistent flyer of which a derivative, two-place version was conceived but ultimately not produced.

Quite a sight it must have
been with those curvaceous, moth-like elegant lines and the purr of the small
power plant.
Very much a personal flivver. Hop in to run into town to a cafe while diverting across counties to your favorite shop, and back home for lunch.

That's exactly right!
