Honfleur, France

The year was 1608. From this very harbor, an experienced navigator set sail for the other side of the Atlantic. His name was Samuel de Champlain, and his ambition was to colonize. He founded Quebec City, and the era of permanent French settlement in North America began. You might say the history of Canada began here in Honfleur. [2004]
