WALLON, Louis Florentin (vol-long), missionary, born in Bourges, France, about 1670; died in Peru in 1725. After serving in the army he became a Jesuit at Saint-Acheul, and went to Peru in 1714, after visiting Paraguay, Chili, and the West Indies. He intended to take charge of a mission in the Philippine islands, but remained in Peru instead, and founded a prosperous mission in the plateau of Quito, where he died. He wrote several interesting accounts of his travels, which were printed in the "Collection des lettres edfiantes et curiouses, envoyees des missions etrangeres" (Paris, 1715-'80). Among them are "Voyage aux Irides Orientales, par le Paraguay, le Chili et le Perou, fait en 1712, '13-'14," which describes the condition of the Indians in South America at the beginning of the 18th century" and "Etat des missions de la Compagnie de Jesus darts le Perou."
