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.

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.
