Later Life
Cartier spent the rest of his life in Saint-Malo and his nearby estate, where he often was useful as an interpreter in Portuguese. He died at age 65/66 on September 1, 1557 during an epidemic, possibly typhus, though many sources list his cause of death as unknown. Cartier is interred in St. Vincent's Cathedral.
No permanent European settlements were made in Canada before 1605, when Samuel Champlain founded |Port Royal in present day Victoria Beach just outside of Annapolis Royal.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“The more the development of late capitalism renders obsolete or at least suspect the real possibilities of self, self- fulfillment and actualization, the more they are emphasized as if they could spring to life through an act of will alone.”
—Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
“Art is beauty, and every exposition of art, whether it be music, painting, or the drama, should be subservient to that one great end. As long as nature is a means to the attainment of beauty, so-called realism is necessary and permissable [sic], but it must be realism enhanced by idealism and uplifted by the spirit of an inner life or purpose.”
—Julia Marlowe (1866–1950)
