 The Paris has its origins within an earlier jet trainer aircraft developed by French aircraft manufacturer Morane-Saulnier.During the early 1950s, the French Air Force sought a jet trainer suitable to the ab-initio training sector; in response, Morane-Saulnier produced their own submission, designated as the MS.755 Fleuret.However, the military competition was ultimately won by another bid, which was produced in large numbers as the Fouga Magister.
