In order to continue the exploration efforts of his predecessor Henry IV, Louis XIII considered a colonial venture in [[Morocco]], and sent a fleet under [[Isaac de Razilly]] in 1619.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Round table of Franciscan research |date=1952 |publisher=Capuchin Seminary of St. Anthony |volume=17, 18 |quote=The narrative really begins in 1619, when the adventurer, Admiral S. John de Razilly, resolved to go to Africa. France had no colony in Morocco; hence, King Louis XIII gave whole-hearted support to de Razilly.}}</ref> Razilly was able to explore the coast as far as [[Mogador]]. In 1624 he was given charge of an embassy to the pirate harbour of [[Salé]] in Morocco, in order to solve the affair of the [[Zaydani Library]] of [[Mulay Zidan]].<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Dubé |first1=Jean-Claude |title=The Chevalier de Montmagny (1601–1657): First Governor of New France |last2=Rapley |first2=Elizabeth |date=2005 |publisher=University of Ottawa Press |isbn=978-0-7766-0559-3 |page=[https://archive.org/details/chevalierdemontm0000dube/page/111 111]}}</ref>

In 1630, Razilly was able to negotiate the purchase of French slaves from the Moroccans. He visited Morocco again in 1631, and helped negotiate the [[Franco-Moroccan Treaty (1631)]].<ref>{{Cite book |last1=García-Arenal |first1=Mercedes |title=A Man of Three Worlds: Samuel Pallache, a Moroccan Jew in Catholic and Protestant Europe |last2=Wiegers |first2=Gerard Albert |date=2003 |publisher=Johns Hopkins University Press |isbn=978-0-8018-7225-9 |page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=QbZRl9DMIPMC&pg=PA114 114] |translator-last=Beagles |translator-first=Martin |ol=7871017M}}</ref> The treaty gave France preferential treatment, known as [[Capitulation (surrender)|capitulations]]: preferential tariffs, the establishment of a consulate, and freedom of religion for French subjects.{{Sfn|Tapié|1984|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=KPM3AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA259 259]}}
