 From New France, Quebec literature was first developed in the travel accounts of explorers such as Jacques Cartier, Jean de Brébeuf, the Baron de La Hontan and Nicolas Perrot, describing their relations with indigenous peoples.The "Moulin à paroles" traces the great texts that have shaped the history of Quebec since its foundation in 1534 until the era of modernity.The first to write the history of Quebec, since its discovery, was the historian François-Xavier Garneau.
