IIRC, there wasn’t a permanent settlement in New France until Quebec City in 1608.

  As I wrote in my OP, I'm including non-permanent settlements, too. "By the 1580s, French trading companies had been set up, and ships were contracted to bring back furs. Much of what transpired between the indigenous population and their European visitors around that time is not known, for lack of historical records." "Other attempts at establishing permanent settlements were also failures. In 1598, a French trading post was established on Sable Island, off the coast of Acadia, but was unsuccessful. In 1600, a trading post was established at Tadoussac, but only five settlers survived the winter.[11] In 1604, a settlement was founded at Île-Saint-Croix on Baie François (Bay of Fundy), which was moved to Port-Royal in 1605. It was abandoned in 1607, re-established in 1610, and destroyed in 1613, after which settlers moved to other nearby locations, creating settlements that were collectively known as Acadia, and the settlers as Acadians." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_France#Early_exploration_(1523%E2%80%931650s) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_France#Early_exploration_(...
