Vietnam: The arrival at Saigon of French Governor-General Beau, from Le Petit Journal, November 1902

Jean Baptiste Paul Beau was Governor-General of French Indochina from October 1902 to February 1908.

Conquered by France in 1859, Saigon was influenced by the French during their colonial occupation of Vietnam, and a number of classical Western-style buildings and French villas in the city reflect this. Saigon had, in 1929, a population of 123,890, including 12,100 French.
