Louis Charles René, comte de Marbeuf, grand-cross of the order of Saint Louis, was a French general.
Background
The son of a Breton lord, he served in the ancien regime army, becoming colonel of the dragons de Condé, before taking part in the pacification of Corsica, at first as interim army commander between Chauvelin and the comte de Vaux (December 1768-April 1769), then as commander of a corps under Vaux until the battle of Ponte Novu.
Career
In 1774 he built the village of Cargèse for a group of Greek colonists who were living in Ajaccio. He was made marquis de Cargèse for his government of Corsica on Louis XV"s behalf. However, the naming of rue Marbeuf near the Champs-Élysées is not to be attributed to a house that Louis Charles René had in Paris.
