In 1600, he and Pierre de Chauvin de Tonnetuit founded a fur trading post at Tadoussac, Quebec Tadoussac . In 1603 he returned there, with the two Innu Montagnais Indians having lived in France for the last year, and accompanied by a new observer, Samuel de Champlain . They met with Begourat and Anadabijou , chiefs of the Innu people Montagnais Innu , who summered in the Tadoussac area, and made a strong alliance with them and their nation. That summer, Du Pont went with Champlain exploring the Saint Lawrence River up to the Mont Royal like Jacques Cartier did in 1535 , after which he resumed fur trading, this time for Aymar de Chaste , the new monopoly holder. In 1604, Grav Du Pont was in the service of Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons , the new holder of the trading rights. They went, with men only, in Acadia to establish there a French settlement, with Champlain still an observer. In 1605, Du Pont was involved, along with Champlain, relocating the de Mons colony to Habitation at Port Royal Port Royal from le Saint Croix . From 1608 to 1629, Du Pont returned to the Saint Lawrence River . He was present in 1608, helping, when Champlain founded, at Quebec City , the other French de Mons colony in America.

The pont Saint Landry 1630 1634 was the first of these. In 1717 a wooden bridge was rebuilt, with seven arches, and named the Pont Rouge , due to the colour in which it was painted. It was destroyed in 1795. In 1804, under the direction of the engineer Dumoustier, a new two arch bridge was built, 70 m long and 10 m wide, and mainly in oak. It was demolished in 1811, and a suspension bridge replaced it in 1842. Twenty years later, this was replaced by a metallic bridge, with a single arch with a 64m opening. In 1939, this one was demolished. In 1941, it was replaced by a passerelle resembling an iron cage. In 1968, the present bridge was begun, and inaugurated in 1970.
