Samuel de Champlain’s founding of Québec City
The French explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a lasting colonial settlement, which would eventually become Québec City. Established in 1608, the “Habitation de Québec” settlement became the capital of New France. Settlers and missionaries soon moved to the colony. This album presents the beginnings of Québec City, as it was in Champlain’s time.
