Did Jacques cartier live in France?

Jacques Cartier was born in St. Malo on Dec. 31, 1494. St. Malo is located in Brittany, in the northwest of France. It is a port on the English Channel near the British Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. Cartier was well-educated. He studied navigation in Dieppe, a nearby port to the east. Dieppe was a major French training center for navigators. At the time, Dieppe was also the home of Giovanni da Verrazzano, another famous explorer. Cartier was a well-respected navigator. It is certain the two would have known and respected one another. It is thought that Cartier sailed to the Grand Banks, off Newfoundland, with a fishing fleet some time around 1520. There is evidence that Cartier sailed with Verrazzano in 1524 on a voyage to America. On that trip, Verrazzano explored the coast of North America from what is now Cape Fear, North Carolina, to present-day Maine. Cartier probably also accompanied Verrazzano to Brazil a few years later. Cartier made three voyages to what is now Canada, in 1534, 1535-36, and 1541-42. He explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River as far as present-day Montreal. He was searching for a passage through America to the Pacific, one that did not exist. Sailing through dangerous and unknown waters, Cartier never lost a ship. He explored fifty previously undiscovered harbours without a serious incident. The only sailors he lost were on account of a scurvy epidemic. Cartier was definitely one of the most capable and conscientious explorers of his time. Jacques Cartier died on September 1, 1557, at his estate just outside of St. Malo, and was buried at St. Vincent's Cathedral in St. Malo.
