Rigaud, who had escaped on the road to Perpignan, reaches Le Havre; he then goes to England and from there to Les Cayes.

Haitian

One day he obtained leave to go and settle at Poitiers. Soon he asks to betake himself to Perpignan, where he thought, he said, to find almost the air of his own country. It was on the journey to his new destination that he was able to escape and to reach Le Havre, on 2 January 1811 (1), whence he made his way to England and from there to Les Cayes, on 7 April (2).
