The Ariès was a French automobile manufactured by La Société des Automobile Ariès in Asnières-sur-Seine. The firm was founded in 1902 by Baron Charles Petiet. The decision to end production was taken in 1937. Around 20,000 vehicles were produced in total. The first cars were two- and four-cylinder vehicles built 20 chassis at a time in a large factory. These cars had a rather unusual double rear axle, while the engines were built by Aster. In 1910 Ariès introduced a V6 engine on the same pattern for the 10/14 hp S6.
