Samuel de Champlain married the twelve-year old Helene Boulle on December 30, 1610 in the Church of Saint-Germain I'Auxerrois which still stands in Paris facing the east end of the Louvre. It had been the parish church of King Henry IV.

The documents for the marriage were signed by the King's notaries and recordkeepers. This union cemented an alliance between Champlan and administrative figures at the French Court. This marriage helped Champlain in many ways as it also connected him with financers and investors in the City of Paris, France. Everyone appeared to be happy with the marriage including the 40-year old Samuel de Champlain. There was one exception. The bride was very unhappy and was furious about her fate.
