Claude Céberet du Boullay

Claude Céberet du Boullay (1647–1702) was a 17th-century French diplomat who participated in the La Loubère-Céberet embassy as "envoy extraordinary" to the kingdom of Siam (modern Thailand) in 1687.

During the 1687 embassy to Siam, Céberet was put in charge of the commercial interests of France, and particularly those of the French East India Company.

The mission achieved little more than the confirmation of the 1685 commercial treaty obtained by the Chevalier de Chaumont.

[3] There were some important results on the military plane however, as the troops which had arrived with the mission occupied the cities of Bangkok and Mergui.

[4] In December 1687, Céberet left again for France first by going overland from Ayutthaya to the harbour of Mergui.
