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.
