Barbarossa is by this point becoming a liability; on September 6, he had threatened to depart if he were not given the means with which to resupply his fleet.

In response, Francis orders that the population of Toulon—except for "heads of households"—be expelled, and that the city then be given to Barbarossa, who will use it as a base for his army of thirty thousand for the next eight months so that they can continue to harass the Holy Roman Empire, and especially the coast of Spain and Italy, as well the communications between the two countries.

Barbarossa is also promised that he will receive help from the French in reconquering Tunis if he stays through the winter in France.
