Abstract: The invention concerns a handle, in particular for motor vehicle strip doors, of the type fixed in the rear frame (20) of the window of each door comprising a gripping part (1a) capable of being manually actuated through a groove (2), as well as means for transmission of the movement (6, 7, 9 to 13) from said gripping means (1a) to a lock so as to activate a bolt of said lock to open said door. The invention is characterized in that said transmission means (6, 7, 9 to 13) are arranged along a direction substantially parallel to the gripping part (1a), and mainly in the lower zone thereof, to optimize the longitudinal lower spade of said rear frame (20).
