To find a path to Asia
The exploration for Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 was funded by the French King Francis I. Verrazzano sailed under the French flag in search of a western route to Asia.
The first successful French colony in North America was founded by Giovanni de Verrazano.
Giovanni da Verrazzano's crew exhibited a mix of curiosity and caution during their explorations along the North American coast in the 1520s. They were eager to document new lands and cultures but also navigated the challenges of interacting with Indigenous peoples, often approaching them with a blend of fascination and apprehension. The crew's interactions ranged from friendly exchanges to moments of tension, reflecting the complexities of European exploration during that era. Overall, they played a significant role in the early European understanding of the Atlantic coast of North America.
