notes:
Cayenne was established in 1664. This is Fort Saint Michael. Froger notes that the main source of revenue for the area is sugar, but that there are not enough slaves to do the work. The climate is unhealthy. The same plan was published in Thomas Jefferys, The natural and civil history of the French dominions in North and South America, London, 1760.Admiral de Gennes had two purposes in this voyage supported by Louis XIV --to create trouble for Spain and to take booty. Six ships sailed ostensibly to establish a colony at the Strait of Magellan. They stopped on the African coast where they raided a fort, taking slaves and goods that were then sold by one of the ships in the Antilles. The other ships continued on to Rio de Janeiro and down the South American coast to the Strait of Magellan, but they had to turn back due to a shortage of food. They returned to La Rochelle in April 1697.
