Chapter 3 of the book “Jeanne Fille du Roy” talks about the journey of Jeanne and other filles du roy to New France. Here are the main ideas from the chapter, suitable for a pupil aged twelve:

  1. Jeanne and other filles du roy were chosen to go to New France to marry the settlers and help populate the colony.

  2. They had to travel across the Atlantic Ocean for several weeks on a ship called the Saint-Nicolas.

  3. The journey was difficult and uncomfortable, with many of the girls getting seasick and some even dying from illness.

  4. When they arrived in New France, they were greeted by the governor and other officials who inspected them to make sure they were healthy and suitable for marriage.

  5. Jeanne was assigned to live with a family in Montreal, where she would work and eventually marry a settler.

  6. Life in New France was very different from what Jeanne was used to in France. The climate was harsh, and the settlers had to work hard to survive.

  7. Despite the challenges, Jeanne was excited to start her new life in New France and help build a new home for herself and her future family.

Overall, chapter 3 of “Jeanne Fille du Roy” shows the difficulties and excitement of starting a new life in a new land. It also highlights the importance of the filles du roy in helping to populate and build the colony of New France.
