They were sent to New France to wed men in new France and in return the king gave them a dowry. As they were mostly married to peasants, they shared their farmworks.
The name filles du roi means "the king's daughters". The name "fille du roi" was there to indicate that they were under the safeguard of the king. The Filles du Roi were mostly orphans or abandoned young girls living in France in orphanage or in terrible condition. As it became clear that there was a need to get women to come to New France, to allow for population growth, they were placed under the patronage, or (symbolical) protection of the King. Acting as a protector, he gave them a dowry (not necessarily money) and paid for their trip to New France.
chateau Du Roi
well.. they had few interactions. it all depended on how the wars were between new France and then Iroquois's and Huron's. different parts got different amount of interactions. if wars broke out between the natives and the french men the filles Du Rois were uninvolved and much unimportant in the interaction.
new France food i mean animals and vegetables
Some became nuns, wives and mothers. There were also filles du roi. i would think that some would be bakers, but i have a history package taht has a small table of occupations then, and it says that the table does not include the habitants, men and women who work for the church as nuns, priests & missionaries. It also states that men could only become skilled workers.
The advantages of the filles du roi are that they helped the population of New France grow steadily, as colonists were only men before their arrival.

The Filles De Roi was important because they could marry and reproduce (have kids) or slept with men which would populate france.
They established the nation of quebec.
The filles du roi were mainly orphans. They had little prospects in France. In contrast, the newly founded colony needed women to populate the new country. The king paid for the travel and a small dowry, and the fille du roi had the opportunity to start a new life and to found a family which she didn't have in the old country.

around 8 to 12 years of age, no one knows for sure!
The filles du roi were not really the king's daughters, as their name mean in French. None of them actually saw him. He was just a patron paying for them to travel and settle in the newly founded colony of New France, and gave them a dowry, consisting of a small sum of money and a trousseau. So you can assume that they had no reason to be frightened by the king.
The Filles du Roi had to learn how to use local vegetables, to skin game and fish, to mend clothes, to grow crops and to take care of the family's health. Many of them had to learn that after their arrival, as they were mainly orphans who had lived in cities (Paris, Rouen, La Rochelle) and had no knowledge of rural life. They led a very simple, hard and rural life.
