賈奎‧卡蒂埃航行勞倫斯河流域,1534年,69

兩年後,卡蒂埃帶著泰格納李和多馬哥雅,從法國回轉。在蒙特利爾的北方,卡蒂埃的船隻遇到拉欽急流,浪太大,他的船隻無法穿越,卡蒂埃明白他無法再往北走了。

卡蒂埃在加拿大東部的航海記,協助許多探險者在加拿大建立法語區。你到過蒙特利爾或魁北克嗎?你知道那裡主要語言至今仍是法語嗎?


Two years later, Cartier returned from France, bringing Taignoagny and Domagaya with him. North of Montreal, his ship arrived at the Lachine Rapids, which were so big that he and his crew could not pass through. Cartier realized he could sail no further.

Cartier's voyages to eastern Canada helped other explorers who would establish French-speaking Canada. Have you ever been to Montreal or Quebec? Did you know that the main language spoken there is still French?
