Most "filles du roi" were orphans or of very modest origin - except for a few tens of them who destined themselves to marry officers or wealthy colonists. Their dress was then most probably modest and sober, not the kind you would see depicted on paintings.

In 1608 Champlain returned to New France. On this trip he wanted to build a settlement along the St. Lawrence River. The French also figured that Acadia (Samuel de Champlain first piece of land discovered by him in 1604) was to far from the center of Fur Trading. Champlain picked a site close to where Jacques Cartier occupied in 1535 which was called Stadacona. The river narrowed so it was an excellent Harbour. He started a permanent Settlement called Kebec (Quebec) which means "Where the river Narrows". After that he befriended the Aboriginals neighbours who showed the French around and Champlain mapped a lot of these areas.

Jean Talon achieved many accomplishments throughout his life. One of his best ideas was establishing "les filles du roi", which was held in 1663-1673. The plan worked out exceedingly well. Jean Talon brought over 1200 "les filles du roi" to New France. The purpose of this idea was to increase the population in New France (which wasn't growing quickly). Jean Talon figured out the problem: almost everyone in New France were men (he conducted the first census in 1666). Which means there will be no children, so Jean Talon decided to send women over to New France (known as "les filles du roi") and have them have children as quickly as possible. Here are some more details of arriving in New France with "les filles du roi": they receive room and board; they also get a dowry of 50 livres (when they marry). The prices were: 30 livres for a wardrobe of two sets of clothes and 60 livres for the transport to New France. Within 15 years, Jean Talon's plan of "les filles du roi" was accomplished by tripling the population in New France.

Jean Talon also had another excellent scheme of increasing the population in New France. It was the "system of incentives", which helped the population grow from 3 200 to 7 600. This is how the system worked. People would get a reward (money) if they married early and had over 10 children. There were also penalties (money) for those who are 20 years of age and haven't married yet and for parents that have daughters that are 16 years old and were still single. That's how the "system of incentives" worked and in the end, Jean Talon was successful.

Another idea that Jean Talon had was, encouraging habitants to do less hunting and trapping. Instead, they should clear land. Jean Talon also wanted to make New France more self-sufficient by experimenting with hardier stains of wheat, large stocks of wheat crops.

One other accomplishment Jean Talon had done was founding three new villages. They were called: Bourg-Royal, Bourg-la-Reine, and Bourg-Talon. These new villages were different because the design of the village was unlike the usual villages of the past. Now, let me write about the design of the village. First of all, the houses were built close together, there are 40 pie-shaped lots, built at the narrow tip of every wedge, the houses were readily defended and it was less isolated, which was easier. Then, there was a church and the villages grouped around it, so it was like the heart of the each village. Soon, there were settlers applying for lots. All they had to do was paid a small amount of money; clear a certain amount of land and help clear other lots too. The settlers also got tools and food, until they had a harvest themselves. Jean Talon also bought a lot himself to see if it was working properly. Before long, the villages became communities. Another accomplishment by Jean Talon!

England, France's ancestral enemy, was settling colonies in the New World and getting rich from it, trading cotton, tobacco, & much else with the rest of the world. France wanted a piece of the pie. Everybody who was anybody was out grabbing everything they could to increase the nation's wealth. France not only settled in North America, they set up colonies in the Caribbean, in Africa, & in the Far East. What's now Viet Nam, Cambodia, & Laos was known as French Indo-China. Portugal had Brazil in the New World, Spain had just about all the rest of South and Central America & the Philippines. France had St.Domingue, which is now Haiti, a good chunk of Canada, & the Louisiana territory, which went as far north as Missouri then. France lost Canada to England, the slaves in Haiti revolted & threw the French out, & Napoleon I sold Louisiana to the US, leaving France with only what is now known as Guyana. Napoleon III tried to make a comeback in 1863 by installing Maximilian von Hapsburg as a puppet emperor in Mexico, but it didn't work too well. TexasCharley

The battle of Quebec lead to the fall of New France to the British because without Quebec, the French could not supply their forts farther up the St. Lawrence River. Quebec was well defended. The city sat on the edge of the Plains of Abraham, on top of a steep cliff high above St. Lawrence.

New France Was settled because in the early 1600's the French claimed this area. Since it was cold not many settlers lived here accept the men and boys that were trading furs at fur trading posts like Quebec. Missionaries were also throughout New France. Missionaries are people that teach there own religious beliefs to other people who have different beliefs.
