Oh, this was an interesting place and could have spent all day there and more. We took a guided tour that unfortunately took up our time and we didn't explore much on our own. Next time. What is so cool about this place is that it is in the exact location of the original settlement, the buildings are in the exact location they were and many are rebuilt on the original stone foundations from the 1700's. The French still have all the records of Louisbourg, the plans of the buildings and locations, inventory, everything. Even the windows were remade in the same manner by the same company that made the originals. It is currently 1/4 reconstructed with research and digging going on and they continue to find loads of artifacts, many of which are on display. It is a special site as when it was destroyed in the 1760's by the British the site lay untouched till this century.
