French explorers came to Canada in 1534. That expedition was led by Jacques Cartier. He extensively explored the Saint Lawrence River.
The desire of trading.
The first European explorers to visit Louisiana came in 1528 when a Spanish expedition led by Panfilo de Narvaes located the mouth of the Mississippi River. The first permanent settlement, Fort Maurepas (at what is now Ocean Springs, Mississippi, near Biloxi), was founded by Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, a French military officer from Canada, in 1699. By then the French had also built a small fort at the mouth of the Mississippi at a settlement they named La Balise (or La Balize), "seamark" in French.
The first Europeans to the area were led by French explorer, Samuel de Champlain in 1609. A fort and settlement were not established until 1666 and it was soon abandoned. The first permanent settlement was built by the English in 1724. The French built a fort and small village in 1731. Following the French and Indian War, France relinquished all of its North American territories to the British.
