The French explorers were commonly referred to as "Voyageurs." They were known for their role in the fur trade during the 17th and 18th centuries, navigating the rivers and lakes of North America. Additionally, prominent explorers like Samuel de Champlain and Jacques Cartier played significant roles in mapping and claiming territories for France in the New World.
