Cayatte-Bresson Auto Mécaniques S.A. is an Vaillais transport company specializing in high-performance luxury sports cars and luxury automotive interior design. The company's headquarters, production facilities and test track are located just outside Barré-Karrigan. André Cayatte-Bresson, a Vaillais naval engineer with extensive experience as an automotive hobbyist, founded the company in 1912 as a custom car manufacturer. The arrival of industrialist Jacques Barneau saw the company transform from a small family luxury automotive shop to a full-blown luxury car marque with the launch of the Cayatte-Bresson Rapide.
Cayatte-Bresson rose to international prominence after its cars won the Erisian Grand Prix in 1923, 1924, 1930, and 1939, and quickly became a symbol of Vaillais culture. Following André's death in 1951, his son Gaspard took control of the company. Under Gaspard, Cartier-Bresson greatly expanded its research and development, and briefly produced airplanes.
Cayatte-Bresson currently produces the Frégate, the Colibri, and the Étendard.
