True. Although the king of France claimed the lands explored by Giovanni da Verrazzano and Jacques Cartier in the 16th century, it took several decades before France established its first permanent settlement in the New World. The first successful settlement, Quebec, was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608, highlighting the delay in colonization despite earlier explorations.
France attempted to build colonies relatively quickly after Canada was claimed. One of those colonies, Charlesbourg-Royal, was a fortified settlement founded by Cartier. However, it didn't last very long. The first permanent French colony in the New World, Quebec, wasn't founded until 66 years after Cartier's last voyage, which was 80 years after Verrazzano's death during his final expedition.
Exploration of the Newfoundland began under the rule of Francis I in 1542. He sent Giovanni da Verrazano to explore, and Verrazano gave names to land between New Spain and English Newfoundland.
France's major exploration accomplishments include the extensive voyages of Jacques Cartier in the 1530s, which led to the claiming of Canada for France. Additionally, Samuel de Champlain established the first permanent French settlement in North America at Quebec in 1608. The French also explored parts of the Mississippi River, with explorers like René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, who claimed the region for France, naming it Louisiana. These explorations significantly contributed to France's colonial empire and its influence in the New World.

The first permanent French settlement in America was established in 1608 when Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City in present-day Canada. This settlement was part of France's efforts to explore and colonize North America, particularly for fur trading and missionary activities. Quebec became a crucial base for French exploration and expansion in the New World, fostering interactions with Indigenous peoples and laying the groundwork for future French territories in North America.
