According to LaForest (1981) Doctor Robert Giffard, proprietor of the Seigneury of Beauport in New France, returned to France for a visit in 1634 and stayed at the celebrated Inn ofthe Cheval Blanc. It so happened that this hostelry was owned by Gervais Lavye, the maternal grandfather of Julien. Our future colonist was about 13 years old and fascinated with the stories told by Seigneur Giffard about life in Canada. Robert went back to Canada, but returned to France in 1650 on a recruiting mission. As a result, many ofthe local citizens of Perche decided to emigrate in company with Giffard, Julien included.
The 29-year-old Julien took himself to the port of Dieppe in Normandy, embarked for New France and spent three long months at sea because of head winds. The ship finally arrived at Quebec by the end of the summer of 1650. |
