The explorer who established the first permanent French colony in Nova Scotia in 1603 was Samuel de Champlain. He founded the settlement of Port Royal, which became a crucial base for French exploration and colonization in North America. Champlain's efforts laid the groundwork for future French presence in Canada.

In 1713 the French king gave present day Nova Scotia to Britain. The British told the Acadians that they would either swear allegiance to Britain or they must leave.
Do you mean Sherbrooke Quebec? I have not found a Sherbrooke in Nova Scotia
Yes! Samuel de Champlain and other Frenchmen settled in Nova Scotia, being the first successful French settlement in North America. They also settled in areas like Quebec, Illinois, and Louisiana.
That depends on where in Nova Scotia. It's 1440 km from Ottawa to Halifax and 1230 km to the Nova Scotia border.
Port Royal was not located in present-day Nova Scotia; it was situated in what is now Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Established by the French in 1605, it served as one of the first permanent European settlements in North America. The site played a significant role in early colonial history, particularly in the context of French and British conflicts over North America. Today, it is commemorated as a national historic site.
Quebec, Canada, was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. There is also some speculation that Port-Royale, in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, which was founded in 1605 also by Champlain, has had some permanent settlers ever since.
Nova Scotia was formed in 1710 when the British officially took control of the territory from the French. It became a separate colony in 1760 and was one of the first three Maritime provinces established in Canada. Nova Scotia joined the Canadian Confederation in 1867.
The Answer Is: John Cabot
John Cabot.
Two groups of Algonquian-speaking indigenous peoples, the Abnaki and the Micmac, were in Nova Scotia when the first Europeans arrived. Vikings may have been the first Europeans to explore Nova Scotia, but the first recorded exploration was made in 1497 by English explorer John Cabot. French claims were established by Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and by Jacques Cartier ten years later. In 1604 Pierre du Guast sieur de Monts, Samuel de Champlain, and Baron de Poutrincourt established a colony at Port Royal, but in 1607 the colony was abandoned. Poutrincourt returned in 1610 and established the first successful settlement of Europeans in what is now Canada. In 1621 King James I of England changed the area's name from Acadia to Nova Scotia.
The french came to Nova Scotia because the British government was not including the french in his/her ideas or laws.
The French people settled in Port Royal primarily for economic and strategic reasons. Established in 1605 in present-day Nova Scotia, it served as a base for fur trading and fishing, vital industries for the French economy. Additionally, its location provided a strategic point for claiming territory in North America and countering British expansion. The settlement also aimed to spread Christianity among Indigenous populations and establish a permanent French presence in the region.
Colonies in Canada were established primarily by French and English explorers and settlers in the 16th and 17th centuries. The French, led by figures like Samuel de Champlain, founded Quebec in 1608, focusing on fur trade and alliances with Indigenous peoples. The English established their first permanent settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, and later expanded northward, founding colonies such as Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. These settlements were driven by economic interests, resource exploitation, and the desire for territorial expansion.
