Gallia
17 rue Jean Goujon, Paris
Société l'Electrique manufactured electric voitures Gallia and Galliette, 1905 to 1908. They exhibited at the 1905 Paris Salon. The firm was later renamed Société Anonyme des Motocyclettes et Automobiles Viratelle
N.B. A Gallia 250cc motorcycle was ridden to 3rd place by a M. Hubert in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Circuit de la Ville event, 7-8 June 1930. There seems little likelihood that there is any relationship.
