While the English were building colonies in what would become America, the French were also building in what would become Canada. The major French Colonies were Quebec and Acadia. Of the two, Quebec was the main one because it was closer to the heart of the fur trade, while Acadia was on the coast of Nova Scotia (New Scotland). The French built a huge fortress on Quebec. today, it is North America's only city with the fortress walls still remaining. You can take a tour of the fortress as it stands today here:
