 On the 14th of July 1534, the two ships commanded by Jacques Cartier of Saint-Malo sought shelters in Gaspé Bay, where they remained for 11 days.

Here Cartier met and established friendly relations with a large fishing party of Saint-Lawrence River Iroquois from Stadacona, today Quebec City. On the 24th of July he erected a cross bearing the arms of Francis the 1st on the shores of Gaspé harbor, thus establishing a basis for French claims to this part of America.

Cartier set sail for France, taking with him the two sons of chief Donnacona who were to act his guides on his second voyage to Canada.

Commemorative plaque on the site of Charlesbourg-Royal.

Presented by the government of Canada

Cap-Rouge borough, Quebec City, Canada

Founded near the mouth of the Cap Rouge river in 1541 by Jacques Cartier, Charlesbourg-Royal was the base for France's first attempt to establish a colony in North America. Two forts were built and a number of settlers established temporarily there but the settlement was later abandoned after only one winter. Another group of settlers led by La Roque de Roberval arrived in 1542 when the site was re-named France-Roi. More buildings were erected but this effort also survived only a few months. It was more than 60 years before another attempt was made to colonize the Saint-Lawrence area.
