Best Answer

The first permanent French settlement in North America was at Cap-Rouge (presently known as Quebec City) was permanently eastablished on July 3, 1608 by Samuel de Champlain.

The French first discovered Quebec City in 1535 when Jacques Cartier built a fort there. He left for France for the winter, then returned in 1541 to establish a permanent city. It failed in 1542. It wasn't until Champlain's return that he founded the French city and served as Quebec's administrator for the rest of his life.
