- Two-seat enclosed cabin under the wing with a side door
- All-metal construction with an uncowled Anzani radial in the nose

History
They were designed by Alfred Renard and Emile Allard. The T.1 crashed during the June 1924 touring contest and the T.2 replaced it.
Variants
The T.2 was of the same type as the T.1; a 70 hp Anzani 6 radial powered it.
Where you'll see it
The T.2 stayed on the register until 1933 but no customers were found, so no more were built.
