Jacques Cartier was born around 1491 in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France. He grew up in a seafaring family, which influenced his early interest in exploration and navigation. Cartier became a skilled navigator and sailor, and by the early 1530s, he was commissioned by the French crown to explore the New World, leading to his significant voyages to Canada. His early experiences at sea laid the foundation for his later expeditions and contributions to the European understanding of North America.
