No, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle did not stop at the Mississippi River before going to the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, he traveled down the Mississippi River to reach the Gulf. In 1682, La Salle and his expedition successfully navigated the river, claiming the entire Mississippi River basin for France, which he named Louisiana.
