Gabriel en Jean het eers na Delft in Nederland gevlug. Die lotgevalle van die res van die familie is onbekend.

Gabriel en Jean herroep op 25 Julie 1687 hul gedwonge aanvaarding van die roomse geloof en sluit aan by die gereformeerde Waalse Gemeente te Delft. Volgens C. Graham Botha in “Die Kaapse Hugenote” het die fluitskip, “Voorschoten”, twee-en-twintig Franse vlugtelinge, waaronder Jean en Gabriel le Roux na die Kaap gebring. Die skip was maar 130 Hollandse voet lank. Dit was die eerste skip wat vlugtelinge vervoer het, en het Holland op 31 Desember 1687 verlaat. Dus was Gabriel toe maar sowat 17½ jaar oud.

Op 13 April 1688 moes die Voorschoten as gevolg van ‘n sterk Suid-oostewind in Saldanhabaai anker. Toe Goewerneur Simon van der Stel hiervan hoor, het hy die “Jupiter” met vars lewensmiddele daarheen gestuur.

Die plaas La Concorde, nou in die dorp Paarl en ook waar die hoofgeboue, administratief van die KWV en ander staan, is in 1689 aan hom in eiendom gegee Die datum van die grondbrief is 03.03.1692. Gabriel het nie baie lank op La Concorde gebly nie. In 1695 trek hy na Salomonsvlei langs sy broer se plaas, Parys. Volgens die inventaris en taxatie vorm is hy by sy dood op Parys woonagtig. Dit word beweer dat die oorspronklike woonplek van Salomon de Gournay op Salomonsvlei ook deur Gabriel bewoon is, en is eers in die 20ste eeu totaal vernietig.

https://sites.google.com/site/lerouxfamiliebond/nuusbrokkies: The contents of Gabriel's baptism certificate are given in Dr. Willem le Roux's booklet "Om Aan-Proux "(1988) and also in" De Families Le Roux in SA "(1991). It confirms that Gabriel was baptized in Blois on Sunday, July 28, 1669, after being born three days earlier. However, the place of birth is not reported in the certificate. According to Dr. Willem le Roux's research Gabriel's father Pierre le Roux was, at one stage, "Sergeant de la Justice" on the estate of Cour-Cheverny, a few kilometers south-east of Blois. More recent research suggests that Pierre was indeed "maire" (mayor) of Cour-Cheverny when he left that place in 1672."

"It is possible that Etienne Bruere visited Amsterdam before he sailed for the Cape, but it is known that he was one of six former members of the Mer congregation to appear at Delft before the pastor Augustin Baccuet from Breuil-Barret in Poitou on June 25, 1687. There, in the words of the Walloon church minutes, they made “recogce publique de la faute qu’ils avoyent faite en soucrivant aux erreurs de Rome et (ont) este regeus a la paix de l’Eglise”. ... Appearing before Baccuet with Etienne Bruere were two other refugees who were to accompany him to the Cape on the Voorschooten, the brothers Jean and Gabriel le Roux, both of whom worshipped at Mer. It is to the enthusiasm of Andre M. Hugo of Cape Town that we owe what knowledge we have of this family from Blois, with its Mer connections. There seems little doubt that the Gabriel who was born on July 25, 1669 to Pierre le Roux and Anne Bourdon and baptised three days later in the temple at Blois was the Cape colonist. It would appear that his brother Jean was born about the year 1666. Another son Daniel was born to Pierre le Roux and his wife in 1661 and christened on March 10 of that year. Pierre was bailiff at Cour-Cheverny in 1661, a small town south-east of Blois on the road to Romorantin and, as A.M. Hugo has suggested, was perhaps the son of Jean le Roux, who was engaged in the linen trade and died at Blois on November 5, 1668 at the age of seventy-five. Godfather at Daniel’s baptism in 1661 was Daniel Bourdon, surgeon at Mer.In Mer too lived Jeanne Bourdon and her merchant husband, Isaac le Roux de Pommegorge. The Fouchers and the Bourdons were related. Philippe Foucher was attended at his wedding in 1677 by his uncle Etienne Bruere and his cousin, Jean Bourdon, usher at Mer. Amsterdam records also suggest a link between the Bourdons and the Basches. One of the Blois pastors, appointed in 1660, was Michel Janigon, later to serve at Utrecht. John Locke met him in 1678 and found him “a very ingenious and civil man”. Although they did not travel on the Voorschooten, the refugees Pierre Rousseau, Frangois Retif and his sister Anne Retif reached the Cape in 1688. All were members of the Mer congregation, but their parentage is uncertain. These were closely linked families and for the most part vine-dressers, although there was a surgeon Daniel Rousseau at Mer, while Jacques Rousseau, a royal usher, was a leading member of the consistory in 1668 and 1669.97 Those with vineyards included Daniel Rousseau and Marie Retif at Suevres, perhaps the parents of Pierre, who was born about the year 1666. Marie Retif died in 1682. It is worthy of note that Philippe Foucher stood godfather to Marthe, daughter of Daniel Rousseau and his wife, in July 1671. Two other vine-dressers were Jean Rousseau of Mer, married to Madeleine Retif, and Paul Retif of Aunay, whose wife was Frangoise Rousseau. Frangois Retif, born on February 2, 1663, may possibly have been the son of Jacques Retif, whose father Paul, the Aunay cultivator, died on September 8, 1677 at the age of some seventy-five years. There was also a Pierre Retif at Aunay. It seems probable that Pierre Rousseau's marriage to Anne Retif took place at Drakenstein and that he was not the refugee at Zierikzee in Zeeland who, with a young daughter, was helped by the Walloon church authorities in the winter of 1687-1688. This Pierre Rousseau was too poor to pay for shoe repairs. A Pierre Rousseau abjured with three of his children at Delft on December 7, 1687. No trace of the Marie Rousseau of Blois who came to the Cape has been found, if this indeed is the correct version of her surname, while the Cape burgher Frederik Roussouw, more properly Pieter de Wit, is not connected with the Rousseaus of the Blesois.
