Experience life in 18th century Canada as you time travel into everyday lives within Louisbourg

Rub shoulders with Louisbourg’s resilient residents and time travel into their challenging lives within a remote fortress. Talk to a Compagnies Franches soldier about life at Louisbourg and witness the smoke and noise during a musket firing demonstration. Visit one of Louisbourg’s finest homes where a kitchen servant awaits your arrival to give you a glimpse into her life serving the elite. See how hot chocolate, one of the favourite treats of Louisbourg’s high society, was prepared, then, savour this elegant drink made of our special Heritage™ Chocolate.

The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site is a spectacularly recreated fortified town set on the scenic Atlantic coastline, and is the largest historical reconstruction in North America. Appreciate the detail, connect with the tradition and time travel to 18th century Canada.

This experience is part of Destination Canada’s Canadian Signature Experiences collection, which shows the world the best that Canada has to offer.
