Born into a family of mariners, "The Father of New France" was indeed a geographer- and so much more. Founder of New France and Quebec City in 1608, this famous Frenchman was a navigator, cartographer, draftsman, ethnologist, soldier, explorer, diplomant and chronicler. He is solely responsible for having made the first accurate map of the coast, a valuable boon to the establishment of settlements.
