Arrive at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site for pre-drinks where a pair of aspiring would-be-upper-class residents will escort you to the Restaurant de la Marine for a three-course meal, elevated from traditional 18th century French recipes. Listen in on the latest town gossip as you savor the flavors perfected over 300 years. Then make your way to the Garden Party at La Taverne Storehouse with live music and local craft beer, cider and of course, Fortress Rum™.
