A French missionary to the Hurons in the 17th century. He wrote: "Travels to the Huron Country, situate in America, toward the Freshwater Sea and the Uttermost Limits of New France, called Canada; wherein is treated of all matters touching the country, the manners and character of the savages, their government and their ways, as well in their own country as when roaming; of their faith and belief; with a dictionary of the Huron language" (1632); also a "History of Canada and the journey made by the Friars; Minor Recollets thither for the conversion of the unbelievers" (1836). A new edition of both works was published at Paris in 4 vols., 1866.
