The French came to the Americas for wealth. They were in the fur trade throughout the Americas.
By the middle of the 18th century, after the French and Indian War was a British victory, the situation in the Americas or better said the Western Hemisphere, was for the time being just about settled as far who controlled the New World. Basically Spain, although weakened, and Great Britain controlled the Americas.
Well, many nations wanted to explore and profit from trade in the new world. The French specifically wanted to use America to sell fur and make a profit from it, and they explored and settled large tracts of land.
