Summary

Jacques Cartier prépare minutieusement son premier voyage. Comme il est soutenu par le roi de France, il parvient à lever son équipage. Le 20 avril 1534, il assiste à la messe et au sortir de l’église, toute la ville l’accompagne sur les quais. La foule en liesse veut assister au départ de ce grand personnage auquel rien ne résiste. Il appareille avec deux navires ornés du drapeau fleurdelisé, symbole de la royauté. C’est le départ pour la grande aventure.

En moins de trois semaines d’une traversée assez tranquille, Jacques Cartier passe au large de Terre-Neuve. Comme les glaces lui barrent le chemin, il se réfugie dans une crique. Le 21 mai, il repart plein nord. Il découvre alors une île couverte d’oiseaux, qu’on nomme aujourd’hui Fous de Bassan. Un peu plus tard, le navigateur croise un ours sur son chemin. Dans son premier récit de voyage, il le décrit comme “grand comme une vache, aussi blanc qu’un singe”.

Please note: This audiobook is in French.
