Yes, and that confrontation gave rise to Acadia ceding to the English in 1713. They were welcomed and settled in Louisiana and became what is known now as Cajuns. Being French Canadian myself, I find it amazing how much I can understand certain French derivations and words in the Cajun dialect. Mardis Gras is in my bucket once Covid is done with.
