François Martin de Vitré was a French sailor and adventurer from the town of Vitré who traveled to East Asia as far as Sumatra from 1601 to 1603. He was the first Frenchman to write an account of travels to the Far East. He was, however, preceded to the Far East by several French traders, such as Jean Parmentier in 1529. De Vitré was the surgeon of his ship. In December 1600, a French trading company was formed through the association of Saint-Malo, Laval and Vitré, to trade with the Moluccas an
