There was another attempt at French Huguenot colonization, as such, in the New World. That was the France Antarctique venture in present-day Rio de Janeiro in the mid-1500s. It failed for various reasons, including tensions between the Huguenot settlers and those Catholic settlers that also came over, and it was ultimately destroyed and taken over by the Portuguese.
