The French primarily settled in the following areas in North America:
1. **The Great Lakes region** - The French explored and established settlements in the Great Lakes area, which was part of New France.
2. **The Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi** - The French, notably under the leadership of Robert de La Salle, explored the Mississippi River and established settlements near its mouth in what is now Louisiana.
3. **The areas along the St. Lawrence River** - The St. Lawrence River was a central area for French settlement, including Quebec and Montreal, which were established early in the 17th century.
4. **The Atlantic Coast** - The French also established some presence along the Atlantic Coast, particularly in Acadia (present-day Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), as well as parts of Newfoundland.
The other areas listed, such as Florida and the areas along the Rio Grande River, were not primarily settled by the French. Florida was more associated with Spanish exploration and settlement, while the Rio Grande region saw more Spanish influence.
