How long did it take Jacques Cartier to prepare for his journeys?

Answer 1

Jacques Cartier took several months to prepare for his voyages to the New World. His first journey in 1534 involved extensive planning, securing royal approval, gathering supplies, and assembling a crew, which took about a year to finalize. Subsequent expeditions also required considerable preparation time, though these were generally shorter as he had established connections and knowledge from his earlier trips.
