Musée Joffre

11 Rue Maréchal Joffre, 66600 Rivesaltes, France

Pyrénées-Orientales

Occitanie

Born in Rivesaltes, Joseph Joffre, Marshal of France (1852-1931), was first distinguished by a colonial career in the Far East, in Formosa, Tonkin, Africa, Timbuktu and Madagascar. Generalissimo of the French army at the outbreak of the Great War, he wins the famous 'victory of the Marne', which saves Paris and France (September 6 and 11, 1914). Until 1916, he remained at the top of the military executive, then was replaced by General Nivelle. In 1917, he carried out a mission in the United States to prepare for this country’s entry into war and received a triumphant welcome there. After the war, he returns to France and retrenches to write his memoirs. Rivesaltes' house is his birthplace and the one where he spent his childhood. The visitor notably discovers the furnished study of the marshal with its original elements. The native room and the kitchen have also been reconstructed.
