Visiting Louisbourg, Cape Breton
Louisbourg is a rich contributor to the culture and appeal of Cape Breton Island. A coastal community of just over a thousand residents, Louisbourg provides "Old World" emphasis, primarily through the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, the village's driving economic force. The site is a partial reconstruction of an 18th century French Fortress, which began construction in 1798, and became the French's main commercial centre in the Maritimes, and a place of community.
