Which areas of France did most settlers of New France come from?

by Canadairy

I'd assume mostly coastal, but was it more from Normandy and Brittany, or maybe from Aquitaine? Or am I wrong altogether and colonists were drawn from across France?

Most of French settlers originated from the western provinces of the kingdom :mainly Normandy, Saintonge and Aunis;but as well Brittany and Poitou (altough in lesser numbers). People from Paris and Ile-De-France represented furthermore an important part of colonial population, but at the contrary of the former, mostly women in the second half of the XVIIth century.

Decomposing a bit by geography would give something along this for the period between 1608 and 1679

Poitou-Aunis-Saintonge-Angoumois : 28,2%
Normandy-Alençon : 23,0%
Paris and Ile-de-France : 18%
Anjou-Maine-Orléanais-Touraine : 8,5%
Picardie-Artois-Flandres : 2,8%
Brittany : 2,5%

Other provincial origins are generally lumped together (in additionof a significant 7% of settlers of unknown origin) with eastern, southern and cetral provincials representing respectivly 3.6, 3.4 and 1.8% of the settlers
