About this objectCyrille Pierre Théodore Laplace set out from Toulon on 30 December 1829 with 160 men on the frigate La Favorite, and would circumnavigate the globe, calling at Hobart then staying in Sydney for two months (in August-September 1831).
The mission given to Laplace for his Pacific voyage was to gather detailed information from countries where French traders were, or could be present. France wished to promote it’s overseas trade, and Laplace was to investigate the conditions required to facilitate the entry of French traders and the goods which would most likely appeal to the local market.
