Fortress of Louisbourg, Cape Breton Island, NS


Instead of repeating the Cabot Trail today I decided that we would visit the Fortress of Louisbourg.

It is the largest reconstructed 18th-century French fortified town in North America. The original fortress, constructed mainly between 1720 and 1740, was one of the most extensive (and expensive) European fortifications constructed.

Because of its size and how it was laid out, photographing the grounds and buildings that make up this fortress was easy.

Our plans have changed a bit and instead of going onto Deep River, Ontario (as we originally planned) we will be traveling to Buffalo, NY to visit with my dad.
