Together with d'Aramon and a second secretary Jacques Gassut, he accompanied Suleiman the Magnificent in 1547 on his conquest of Persia in the Ottoman-Safavid War (1532–1555). Jean Chesneau recorded that d'Aramon gave advice to the Sultan on some aspects of the campaign.[1] Chesneau wrote Le Voyage de Monsieur d'Aramon dans le Levant,[2] an interesting account of the travels of Gabriel de Luetz.[3]
