Fort Charlesbourg Royal

Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge, Canada · built 1541

Fort Charlesbourg Royal (1541–1543) is a National Historic Site in the Cap-Rouge neighbourhood of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Established by Jacques Cartier in 1541, it was France's first attempt at a colony in North America, and was abandoned two years later. In 1608, France would establish a successful colony, the Habitation de Québec, 15 kilometers east of the Cap-Rouge fort.
