In 1658, Pallu became Bishop of Heliopolis, and Vicar apostolic of Tonkin (which consisted of northern Vietnam, Laos and five provinces of southwest China).[3]: 231 The three bishops left France (1660–62) to go to their respective missions, and crossed Persia and India on foot, since Portugal would have refused to take non-Padroado missionaries by ship, and the Dutch and the English refused to take Catholic missionaries.[4] Lambert left Marseilles on 26 November 1660, and reached Mergui in Siam 18 months later. Pallu, with nine associates, left on 3 January 1662.[3]: 232 He joined Lambert in the capital of SiamAyutthaya after 24 months overland, but Mgr Cotolendi died upon arrival in India on 6 August 1662.[5]
Relation abrégée des missions..., by Mgr Pallu, published in 1668 in Paris.
From 1667 to 1673, Pallu was in France, where he published an account of the French missions in Southeast Asia.[3]: 413 He returned to Siam in 1673.[7]
Pallu's 16 January 1675 letter to the Propaganda describing his captivity in Manila
In 1674, Pallu was sailing to his archdiocese in Tonkin, but met with a storm and had to land in Manila. He was imprisoned by the Spanish and put on a ship to Acapulco and from there to Spain to be judged. He was finally freed through the intervention of Pope Innocent XI and Louis XIV.[8][9] After this involuntary trip around the world, he would only be able to return to Siam in July 1682.[10]
