1 review of Jacques Cartier Statue

Discoverer of New France, Jacques...

Découvreur de la Nouvelle France, ...

Découvreur de la Nouvelle France, Jacques Cartier est aussi le fondateur de la ville de Québec, l'une des premières colonies du Royaume de France sur le nouveau continent. Cette statue est l'un des nombreux hommages de la province canadienne à son découvreur venu de Saint Malo (où on trouve d'ailleurs aussi une statue de Jacques Cartier !). Il passa ici l'hiver de 1535 à 1536 et revint 5 ans plus tard avec l'objectif d'y établir une colonie permanente, qui est devenu depuis l'une des plus anciennes villes du continent américain.
Discoverer of New France, Jacques Cartier is also the founder of Quebec City, one of the first colonies of the Kingdom of France in the New World. This statue is one of many tributes to the province to its discoverer came from Saint Malo (where there is also also a statue of Jacques Cartier!). He spent the winter here from 1535 to 1536 and returned five years later with the goal of establishing a permanent colony, which has since become one of the oldest cities in the Americas.
