Details About Louisburg

Destinations » Atlantic Seaboard » Eastern Canada » Louisburg


Louisbourg is situated on the eastern tip of Cape Breton Island and has stood there since 1713 when Cape Breton was known as Isle Royale and was one of only two French holdings in the New World. Since then the fortress has changed hands several times, much to its detriment, but today it is restored to its original state and is a must visit for history and re-enactment aficionados.

Currency

In Canada, the Canadian dollar (CAD) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted and often offer a good exchange rate. In all of Canada, a 7% Goods & Services Tax (GST) must be paid on all transportation, accommodation, restaurant meals, and just about anything else you purchase, right down to a pack of gum.
