Fortress of Louisbourg

A visit to the Fortress of Louisbourg, the largest reconstructed 18th century French fortified town in North America, is a series of experiences that set a mood. Stone walls, cobblestone streets, post and beam construction, and interpreters in lavish period costumes help to create the look, texture and mood of another time. Cannons on stone ramparts, a busy waterfront tavern and the crackling of a kitchen fire all tell how people of a different age lived and worked.

The rich gardens, busy streets, and unmistakable Frederick Gate all lend itself to the touch of a brush. Any artist, whether scenic or portrait will find something to capture.
