interpreters and period demonstrations help
recreate the look and feel of Port-Royal,

Cabot Trail - " Welcome to one
of the most beautiful scenic drives in
the world. Named for famous explorer John

shore, ascending to the incredible plateaus
of Cape Breton Highlands National Park ".
- Louisbourg
Fortress - " A
visit to the Fortress of Louisbourg — the
largest reconstructed 18th-century French
fortified town in North America — is
a series of experiences that set a mood.
Ramparts, streets, households and 100 costumed
staff help to create the look, texture
and mood of another century. Heavy cannons
on stone ramparts, a busy waterfront tavern
and a roasting spit turning in a crowded
kitchen all tell how people of a different
age lived and worked ".

Citadelle - " By
any criteria or definition the Halifax
Citadel is a very 'special place'. The
Halifax Citadel has been commemorated as
a nationally significant symbol of Halifax's
role as a principal naval station in the
British Empire and of the city's importance
to Canada's development and evolution from
colony to nation. The Halifax Citadel was
formally recognized as a significant symbol
of Canadian nationhood when it ".
