Tadoussac, Quebec

Tadoussac was France's first trading post on the mainland of New France (now in Quebec, Canada). It was established in 1600 by Pierre Chauvin. He built an "habitation" but only five out of 16 men with him survived the first winter. Tadoussac remained the only seaport of the Saint Lawrence River for 30 years.
