A visit to Louisbourg for National Acadian Day!

Had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Duo with Marcel Lefort and Roger Boudreau. This Cape Breton based duo played traditional folk songs and Acadian hits. Roger Boudreau and Marcel Lefort are originally from Chéticamp, Cape Breton and began their musical journey with the group « The Phantoms » in Cheticamp.

Also! Turkeys! And a photo with the Dugas house, home of an Acadian family that relocated eight times during the Deportations.

Fortress de Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

It was captured by British colonists in 1745, and was a major bargaining chip in the negotiations leading to the 1748 treaty ending the War of the Austrian Succession. It was returned to the French in exchange for border towns in what is today Belgium. It was captured again in 1758 by British forces in the Seven Years' War, after which its fortifications were systematically destroyed by British engineers. The British continued to have a garrison at Louisbourg until 1768 but had abandoned the site by 1785.

08/10/22 - Louisbourg, NS - LIGHTHOUSE HIKE - The weather around here seems to be changing every fifteen minutes. Luckily, we were able to complete our three mile hike along the ocean without getting drenched. We’ve been in Nova Scotia for a good while now and are continually amazed by the rugged beauty of its coastlines. Just when you start to think you’ve seen it all, you happen along another beautiful variation like this morning. The lighthouse was just icing on the cake. Enjoy!
