In 1897, nineteen-year-old Louis Renault set up a little workshop in a garden shed at the family home, and set about building a simple little car, of his own design, for his own personal use.

By 1898 the voiturette was finished, and Louis invited a few friends round to see his first car.

It was unveiled to the public in June 1899. Then on 27 August, Louis and his brother Marcel took part in the Amateur Drivers' Cup event from Paris to Trouville, finishing first and second.
