Eliseu, On the island of S. Miguel, there's a place singularly called "Bretanha" it is said to have been the place of the French. However, you can read more about it by clicking on the links below:
Starting in the 1500's....see small excerpt and link: Iberian Union[edit <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_the_Azores&action=edit§ion=7> ] In 1583, Philip tried again at defeating the Azoreans. He sent his combined Iberian fleet to clear the French traders from the Azores, decisively hanging his prisoners-of-war <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoners-of-war> from the yardarms and contributing to the "Black Legend <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Legend>". The Azores were the second-to-last part of the Portuguese empire to resist Philip's reign over Portugal (Macau <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macau> being the last), Azores was returned to Portuguese control with the end of the Iberian Union <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_Union>, not by the military efforts, as these were already in Restoration War <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Restoration_War> efforts in the mainland, but by the people attacking a well-fortified Castilian guarnition. The Azores served as a port of call <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port#port_of_call> for the Spanish galleons during their occupation. In December of 1640 the Portuguese monarchy was restored and the islands again became a Portuguese possession. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Azores The French invasion in early 1800's.....the islands were not immune to the invasion....see quote below and to read more about it...please click on the link *Spain and Portugal: 1807-1809* In October 1807 Napoleon decides that the only certain method of securing theContinental System <http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?gtrack=pthc&ParagraphID=mfu#mfu> is a French occupation of Portugal. He despatches an army for the purpose and summons Spanish envoys to Fontainebleau. In a treaty signed at Fontainebleau, on October 27, the partition of Portugal is agreed. France is to have the central section, including Lisbon and Oporto. The Algarve in the south will go to Godoy, the Spanish king's unscrupulous chief minister. The north will be granted to the young duke of Parma in return for his valuable kingdom of Etruria (or in plain terms Tuscany), which will be ceded to France. Even before the treaty is signed a French army has entered Spain on its way to Portugal - where its imminent arrival near Lisbon causes panic. The royal family and court decide to flee for safety to Brazil, taking with them (to Napoleon's fury) the gold and silver of the national treasure. A Portuguese fleet, accompanied by a British squadron, sails from the mouth of the Tagus on 29 November 1807. The vanguard of the French army enters the capital city the next day.
