France's jewel in the 18th century. Canada's treasure today. North America's largest historical reconstruction.

Discover an 18th century adventure nestled on the edge of a continent – a place where muskets and mortars, women in hoop skirts and men in wigs, town criers and the 'iron collar' are a part of everyday life.

There's lots to see and do – plan to spend the whole day! Your first stop is the Visitor Centre, just beyond the modern town of Louisbourg. You’ll take a 7-minute bus ride from the Visitor Centre to the Fortress. Remember to bring your camera, comfy shoes and warm clothing!
