Standing proudly in the heart of Saint-Béat, Maison Gallieni is more than just a property – it is a piece of French history. A plaque on the façade records its significance as the birthplace of Marshal Joseph Gallieni, born here on 24 April 1849.
The house is generously proportioned, filled with light, and retains a wealth of original features – marble fireplaces, parquet floors, decorative tiles, and an elegant staircase. While it requires renovation and modernisation, its good bones and authentic charm make it an exciting opportunity for someone ready to restore it to its former glory.
With large, airy rooms spread over multiple levels, Maison Gallieni would make a wonderful family residence, a boutique Bed & Breakfast, or a character-filled holiday home.

An opportunity to revive A piece of history
Maison Gallieni is not a turnkey home – it requires renovation, updating, and above all, someone with vision and affection to bring it back to life. In return, it offers an abundance of space, original period details, historical significance, and a prime location in a vibrant mountain village. Whether you see it as a grand family home, a welcoming guesthouse, or a unique holiday retreat, the potential is immense.
