In July 1791 she was recommissioned as a 12-gun frigate and renamed Recherche. She was selected to undertake a voyage to Van Diemen's Land and Pacific islands in search of traces of the explorer Jean-François de La Pérouse. Recherche left Brest in September 1791 under command of Joseph-Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux and in company with Espérance. The crew included naturalist Jacques-Julien Labillardière. In April 1792 the expedition reached Van Diemen's Land. By July they were in the Admiralty Islands and, after sailing through the Indonesian islands, reached Cape Leeuwin in November and returned to Van Diemen's Land. From there they headed for New Caledonia. No trace of La Pérouse was found. On the voyage home some political difficulty with the Dutch was experienced at Surabaya. The ships finally reached France in February 1784. Both ships ultimately were sold for scrap in November of that year. The Archipelago of the Recherche, Western Australia, and Recherche Bay, Tasmania, are named after her. Labillardière, Jacques-Julien Houtou de (1755 - 1834)
