Lisa63 Posted August 17, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Our tour book refers to the Fortress of Louisbourg as being a "strenuous tour" and suggests "appropriate footwear" but does not specify what that is. As we are finally packing for next week's cruise :) -- what would those of you who have visited recommend? Sneakers? My very comfortable Easy Spirit loafers that take me over cobblestone every day? Boots? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze Posted August 17, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2004 hi Lisa, We have done the Louisbourg tour. Jogging shoes are good. Anything comfortable. There are not a lot of hills. It is just the amount of walking that you have to do from one portion of the site to another.It is a very large site. Incidentally, the National parks employees here have started rotating srikes so lets hope Louisbourg is not affected. Haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted August 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Not streneous in my opinion (I am 25) but you need very comfy shoes. I would personnally opt for running shoes. You have to walk but at your own pace. If some areas are too far for you, you can stay in the main area where there is many different things to see.

Lisa63 Posted August 20, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Thank you both. We do a lot of walking at home, so we will wear the shoes that are already broken in. I am glad to hear there are few hills. I was envisioning climbing over rocks a la Peggy's Cove. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
