A part of the fortress was rebuilt true to original. Very interesting to see how life was back then. You shouldn't missat all the guided tours through the fortress and the military demonstration.

We had a great time in Louisburg. We couldn't get as close to the fort itself as we wanted, as it is still an active military site, but the area around the fort was still worth the trip. Great scenery, lots of things to see and a terrific lighthouse view.

I learned a lot about the early migration of Europeans to - and from - Canada from the exhibts. Time your visit to see and hear the noon cannon firing!

It was a cold and rainy October day, but we had a personal tour guide who gave us an excellent review of the history, renovation, and future plans for the fort. A very worthwhile piece of history. There is a lighhouse just a few miles down the coast in a very picturesque setting, and that is also worth a visit.

This fortress gives you an exceptional insight into life in Canada when France and Great Britain were fighting for dominance of North America, and people were willing to create a little piece of France on the windswept shores of the North Atlantic. Skilled Canadian miners were put to work rebuilding this majestic site when the mines closed, and their talent... More
