In June 1714, Pierre was "among the inhabitants of Acadia who went with Father Gaulin to view land on Île Royale," today's Cape Breton Island. The following August, he received permission from the king of France to settle on the island, but he must not have liked what he saw there. He died at Pigiguit in June 1730, age 62."
