Except for having spent some time in Touraine, nothing is known of his life before his arrival in New France in 1641. Taken into the service of the Jesuits as a servant, a donn\u00e9 or an interpreter, Des Groseillers travelled with them until 1646. He was the first Frenchman in New France to recognize the possibilities for fur trade around Hudson\u2019s Bay. Despite being the person responsible for identifying the primary economic resource that could save the colony, history dismisses his as a mere adventurer trying to make money for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medard settled in Canada: his story &#8211;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Des Groseilliers lived in Chateauguay, Quebec (New France).

His daring led him to explorations that were crucial for French and English territorial claims in North America; and his intelligence enabled him to see quickly and clearly that the easiest and quickest route to the richest fur region of the continent was not by the difficult, dangerous, and time-consuming canoe highway through the Great Lakes and along the Grand-Portage\u2013Lake of the Woods waterway, but across Hudson Bay in ships carrying large cargoes quickly and easily to the very heart of the continent. In addition he had the address sufficient on the one hand to assuage Indian fears of white men and on the other to persuade European officialdom and businessmen to carry out his ideas. The Hudson\u2019s Bay Company continues to this day to prove the correctness of his judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fayeca.me\/?page_id=10276\">Slideshow focusing on various aspects related to Medard Groseilliers Life<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:56px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EVEN TODAY THE EXPLORERS ARE REMEMBERED WITH COMMEMORATIVE COINS<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-nv-text-dark-bg-color wp-elements-10\" id=\"silver\"><strong><em>SILVER DOLLAR 1995- HONOURING DESGROSEILLIERS AND RADISSON<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-ml-exclude-gallery=\"true\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=384436162  decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/67f26583a67449.16138428-original.jpg\" data-id=\"10326\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10326 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img data-opt-id=384436162  decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10326\" src=\"https:\/\/mljuhndqori3.i.optimole.com\/cb:CzRZ.259ec\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/g:sm\/f:best\/https:\/\/fayeca.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/67f26583a67449.16138428-original.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10326\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Desgroseillier&amp;
