The invention relates to a system for simulating brake feel for a vehicle braking installation comprising a hydraulic braking system (7, 8) and an electric braking system (9). This system comprises a first chamber (20) containing a force transmitting fluid (21) and in which there slides a hydraulic piston (22) under the control of a manual braking operating member (1), said first chamber (20) communicating with a second, secondary simulation chamber (4) via a simulation valve (3), the degree of opening of which allows a force to be simulated at the brake pedal.
