October 24, 1855 - March 30, 1856 - He participated in the Crimean Campaign on the Uranie and the Laplace. It was certainly during this time that he met Georges-Charles Cloué, the future Admiral and Minister of the Navy, who had been station hydrographer in Newfoundland before Miot between 1849 and 1853. Until his death in 1889, Cloué played a major role in Miot's career, and Miot was his faithful and valuable associate.
