Description

A MUST SEE. Could easily spend two days experiencing the sights and digesting the information . French soldiers march down the streets of the town as ladies dance in formal parlours. Cannon fire shakes the ground as harpsichord tunes mingle with baking bread aromas drifting from the stone bakery. Step through Louisbourgs fortress walls and time-warp back to the 1700s. Chat with fishermen, sailors and servants. Sip rum and watch lace-making as children play 300-year-old games and stew simmers on an open-hearth fire. Its so real, it seems surreal. Hours of operation May 20 to October 14, 2019 Open 7 days per week 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. October 15, 2019 to May 17, 2020 Open Monday to Friday (except statutory holidays) 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
