The Piel CP.70 Beryl was a single-seat single-engine sport aircraft first flown in France in the 1960s and marketed for homebuilding. It used the same wing design as the Piel Emeraude but had a new fuselage exchanging the Emeraude's side-by-side seating for seating in tandem. As originally designed the aircraft was to be fitted with fixed tricycle undercarriage with a steerable nosewheel. Construction throughout was of fabric-covered wood.
