Dieppe and Canada: "DIEPPE AND CANADA
DIEPPE, praised by its sailors and fishermen has always been linked to Canada.
It was claimed that the captain from Dieppe, COUSIN, landed by chance in Brazil in 1488, and consequently discovered America before Christopher Columbus. Numbered among Dieppe's most famous were two brothers JEAN and RAOUL PARMENTIER. There is a contemporary document on JEAN PARMENTIER entitled: Disourse of a Grest French Captain from the port of Dieppe. This discourse talks about JEAN PARMENTIER and his trips to the New World and to Brazil before 1529."
