Three major French explorers were Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, and René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. Jacques Cartier is known for his voyages to Canada in the 1530s, where he explored the St. Lawrence River. Samuel de Champlain, often called the "Father of New France," founded Quebec City in 1608 and established strong relations with Indigenous peoples. René-Robert Cavelier explored the Mississippi River and claimed the surrounding territory for France, naming it Louisiana in honor of King Louis XIV.
