Best Answer

French colonization of the New World started with the French explorer Robert de La Salle. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico. La Salle claimed the entire Mississippi River basin for France. French pioneers sailed to the New World and founded many cities like New Orleans and St. Louis. Furs were in demand at that time and French trappers were common in the New World.
