What was Jacques Cartier’s personal life like?
Little is known of Jacques Cartier’s personal life. He was born (1491) in Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast in France, sailed from there on his first expedition to North America, and returned to the seaport to live out his life after his last voyage, dying in 1557.
How long did it take Jacques Cartier to reach Saint-Malo?

What did Jacques Cartier do to help France claim North America?
Although Jacques Cartier helped France lay claim to North America by journeying far up the St. Lawrence River, he did not proceed beyond the Lachine Rapids (near Montreal ). He failed to aid Lord Roberval in establishing a colony in New France and returned to France bearing pyrite and quartz which he thought were gold and diamonds, respectively.
Where did Jacques Cartier first meet the Mi’kmaq?
Cartier’s first two encounters with aboriginal peoples in Canada on the north side of Chaleur Bay, most likely the Mi’kmaq, were brief; some trading occurred. His third encounter took place on the shores of Gaspé Bay with a party of St. Lawrence Iroquoians, where on July 24 he planted a cross to claim the land for France.
