Hydraulic assistance device incorporating a casing provided with a bore in which a first piston is mounted so as to slide, the piston being able to move under the effect of a brake pedal between a first position, isolating a first chamber which is joined to the brakes of the vehicle, from a source of high pressure fluid, and a second position, causing the first chamber to communicate with the high pressure source, the device also incorporating a second chamber formed in the casing, a passage joining the first and second chambers and a valve mechanism in the passage in such a way that the passage is normally closed, under the effect of the pressure in the second chamber, characterized in that the device incorporates a second passage, causing the second chamber to communicate with a low pressure reservoir, and a second valve mechanism in the passage, the valve mechanism being sensitive to the pressures in the first and second chambers in such a way that the passage normally remains closed during the operation of the device, while allowing fluid to pass from the second chamber to the reservoir when braking is released.
