La Taverne Storehouse

The La Taverne Storehouse project was launched in the spring of 2021 through the partnerships with local craft brewers with the idea of developing Fortress of Louisbourg-inspired products, as well as the idea to use an otherwise underutilized venue to its fullest potential.

 

Offering an immersive venue for casual drinks and live music during the day and a new way to innovate and expand upon our evening events, La Taverne Storehouse is an exciting addition to the Fortress Louisbourg Association’s footprint. It is located in the Bigot Storehouse that in 1744 was under the operation of François Bigot. He established his reputation by being able and devoted service as Île Royale’s commissaire-ordonnateur from 1739 to 1745, while his sharp investments simultaneously laid the foundation of his wealth. Duly promoted, he went on to both fortune and disgrace as the last Intendant of New France.

The inclusion of partnered products in this project connects directly to our mission of striving to foster a better appreciation of Canada and the history and culture of the Fortress of Louisbourg through tangible sensory experiences. Each product draws inspiration from and facilitates the telling of different stories related to the Fortress of Louisbourg.

 

Our partnered products are featured below along with information about the local craft breweries. To learn more about the stories of these products and their connection to our historic site, be sure to follow the links to view our interpretive videos.
