The pulley device provides a pulley and a bearing. The pulley has two C-shaped pulley parts having each an inner portion mounted on the bearing, an outer portion having an outer cylindrical surface dedicated to interact with a belt or a chain, and an intermediate portion extending substantially radially between axial ends of inner and outer portions on one axial side of pulley device. Free ends of outer portions each include a hook-shaped portion. A first one of the hook-shaped portions axially overlapping a second one of the hook-shaped portions. The hook-shaped portions configured to cooperate together in order to attach one outer portion to the other.
