Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, embarked on three major voyages to North America between 1534 and 1542. During his first expedition in 1534, Cartier sailed along the coast of Newfoundland and explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In 1535-1536, his second voyage involved navigating further into the Gulf and up the St. Lawrence River, reaching the village of Hochelaga (present-day Montreal). The third voyage in 1541-1542 focused on establishing a settlement, but it faced challenges, and Cartier eventually returned to France. These expeditions contributed to the European understanding of the North American continent.
