Step back into the 18th century at the Fortress of Louisbourg, the largest historical reconstruction in North America. You'll wander through a bustling French colonial town, brought to life by costumed guides who share stories of a bygone era. Explore the impressive fortifications, peek into elegant houses, and imagine life here centuries ago, all set against the rugged beauty of the Cape Breton coast. A shuttle bus will take you from the visitor centre to the historic town, so be prepared for a day of walking on varied terrain like gravel and cobblestones as you immerse yourself in this incredible piece of living history.
