Bayside in Charlotte County, New Brunswick — The Atlantic Provinces (North America)
Moving on / Le déménagement
"In order to escape the cold and dreadful winter we experienced on Saint Croix Island, Sieur de Monts decided to move the settlement to another location. Having… found no port that was acceptable to us... we outfitted two pinnaces to transport the woodwork of the homes on Saint Croix Island to Port Royal... where we judged the climate to be much more agreeable and mild."
In the fall of 1605, Sieur de Monts returned to France. Sieur de Monts continued his involvement with Acadie but never returned.
«Afin d'échapper au froid et au terrible hiver que nous avions connus dans l'île Sainte-Croix, le sieur de Monts décida de déménager et de fonder un nouvel établissement. Comme nous n'avions trouvé aucun port qui nous convenait... nous avons équipé deux pinasses pour transporter le bois qui avait servi à la construction des maisons dans l'île Sainte-Croix à Port-Royal… où nous pensions que le climat était beaucoup plus tempéré et agréable.»
Le sieur de Monts retourne en France à l'automne de 1605. Bien qu'il continue de s'intéresser à l'Acadie, il ne devait plus jamais y retourner. .

1. Original settlement of Port-Royal (Wikipedia). Port-Royal was founded after the French nobleman Pierre Du Gua de Monts spent a disastrous winter in Île-Saint-Croix. He was accompanied by Samuel de Champlain, Louis Hébert and Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just. They decided to move their settlement to the sheltered bay on the south shore of the Bay of Fundy which had been recorded by Champlain earlier in the spring of 1605 during a coastal reconnaissance.
