France is generally considered to be the first European country to explore, then to stake a formal claim to, the lands along the St. Lawrence River in North America. As early as 1534, a French explorer by the name of Jacques Cartier was sent across the Atlantic Ocean by the French king (Francis I) with the explicit purpose of establishing a French presence in the New World.

Louis Joliet, a French-Canadian explorer, claimed land for France during his explorations in North America in the late 17th century. In 1673, alongside Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette, he explored the Mississippi River and its tributaries, asserting French interests in the region. Their journey laid the groundwork for further French exploration and settlement in the interior of North America.
Jacques Cartier claimed what is now known as Canada for France in 1534 when he explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
