This is the jewel of our Island. It has spectacular views of our Atlantic shore line. You can do the tour in a day but 2 with an overnight stay would be much better.

Historic Sight
The Louisbourg Fortress is a must see sight. It is about 1 1/2 hr. drive from our location. It’s an excellent view into the past when England and France were fighting for control of the New World. It is well worth the drive but try to pick a sunny day to do so.
