Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, is best known for his voyages to North America in the 16th century, where he claimed parts of Canada for France. He explored the St. Lawrence River and reached the site of present-day Montreal, establishing French presence in the region. Cartier did not conquer lands in the traditional sense; rather, he sought to establish trade routes and claim territory for France, paving the way for future colonization. His expeditions laid the groundwork for France's later colonization efforts in Canada.
