He seems to have spent circa 1697 until about 1700 as junior surgeon on Mauritius.
He appears then to have been transferred to Batavia as Chief Surgeon, from whence he, his wife and his children returned to Mauritius some time in 1704.
J.A.Hoge states that his wife died on 6th November, 1704 and that he and his children then transferred to the Cape where they arrived in 1705, settling in Stellenbosch. Certainly, he married in Stellenbosch on the 5th October 1705.

His farm in Stellenbosch, Moddergat, 54 morgen in size, was sold from his estate 7th August 1709 to Nicolaas Gockelius and immediately sold on by him to Theunis de Bruijn. The original grant was dated 3rd December 1692 but to whom it was made is not stated. (MOOC 9/1/39)

Notes:

From Nantes. Arrived 1695. Served as deacon in Drakenstein congregation and was appointed heemraad for Stellenbosch and Drakenstein in 1715. It is not clear whether Nantes refers to his place of origin or the farm in Paarl where he farmed. He bought the farm Nantes in 1709.

Du Plooy.paf: He came from Nantes in Brittany and settled on the farm "Nantes" near Paarl, arriving in 1695 . He was deacon in the Drakenstein church congregation and was appointed councillor for Stellenbosch and Drakenstein in 1715. The family name LORET died out in South Africa in the next generation.

From Nantes, France. He arrived in 1695 and worked from 1697 as assistant to the Jouberts. Later farmed on the farm Nantes in the Paarl.

Hierdie inligting kom alles uit Pieter Coertzen se Hugenote van Suid Afrika 1688-1988: Guillaume Loret 1671-1718 het in 1795 in SA aangekom bl. 119: Die plaas Nantes by die Paarl is in 1709 oor gedra aan Guillaume Lore of Loret, van Nantesaan die Loire in Frankryk. Heel waarskynlik is hierdie naam deur Loret aan die plaas gegee. In 1719 het Paul Roux die plaas gekry. bl 106: Oor Isabeau Richard, vrou van Pierre Joubert van die plaas La Provence, was daar die kwade gerug dat syonbetaamlike omgang gehad het met met Guillaume Loret, voordat hy op 23 Jan 1707 met haar dogter in die huwelik getree het. So erg was die toestand dat ds Beck ten tyde van die huweliksbevestiging nie die gebruiklike formulier gelees het nie. Hy en sy vrou Isabeau het twee seuns en 'n dogter gehad. bl 99-100: Die optrede van Guillaume Lorée, van Franse boer van Drakenstein, wat vroeër Rooms-katoliek was, maar onder leiding van Pierre Simond Protestants geword het, was onder sensuurvir sluikhandel. (Die skrywer sê hier nog heelwat meer i.v.m. Loret) Hoop dit help! Groete Alta

There were rumours that Isabeau Richard and her future son-in-law Guillaume Loret of Nantes committed adultery. The minister Henricus Beck implemented church discipline as a result in 1707.

Janet,

Elisabeth JOUBERT en Guillaume LORET is op 23.1.1707 in Drakenstein getroud.

Guillaume LORET was 'n jong Katolieke Fransman afkomstig uit Nantes. Hy was nie 'n Hugenote Vlugteling nie, maar het ongeveer twee jaar nadat hy aan die Kaap geland het tot die Gereformeerde Geloof oorgegaan. Hy het egter nie 'n voorbeeldige lewe gelei nie en is deur ds Pierre Simond en die kerkraad onder sensuur geplaas. Hy was een van die vryburgers wat onwettig vee van die Khoikhoi geruil het.

Vanaf 1697 het Loret as kneg vir Pierre Joubert op sy plaas La Provence by Olifantshoek (die huidige Franschhoek) gewerk. Gerugte het die rondte gedoen dat Loret en Isabeau Richarde, Pierre Jouberts se vrou, 'n verhouding gehad het. Loret is deur ds Simond en later deur ds Henricus Beck aangeraai om ander werk te soek, maar alhoewel beide Abraham de Villiers en Pierre Rousseau hom werk aangebied het, het hy na die Jouberts en La Provence teruggekeer met die verskoning dat hy geen ander werk kon kry nie en dat hy begerig was om met Elisabeth te trou, hy het net gewag dat sy 'n hubare ouderdom bereik (toe hy is 1697 by die Jouberts begin werk het was Elisabeth slegs vyf jaar oud). Toe hulle op 23.1.1707 getroud is was sy vyftien. Pierre Joubert en Guillaume Loret was ontevrede met die voltrekking van die huwelik omdat die huweliksformulier nie behoorlik gelees is nie. Hulle het 'n petisie teen ds Beck opgestel. Die petisie is deur die kerkraad afgewys omdat Pierre Joubert volgens hulle "spiteful" was.

b4 Pierre se vrou Susanna DE VILLIERS is oorlede met die geboorte van haar vierde kind, Rachel. Pierre self is ongeveer vyf maande na Susanna oorlede en klein Rachel in September 1731.
