Day trip to Annapolis Royal. Here I quickly visited three sites that is actually part of my hertiage. You see, the first "Cyr" in my family tree landed here in Port Royal.

Port Royal is a reproduction habitation on the site, they think where the original settlement was located. It wasn't until the 1930's that they found a copy of the original plans, that the reconstructed the site.

The second site was the Melanson settlement. This focuses on the archaeological aspects of early french settlers life in the 1600's. Not much remains, but still an interesting look at early look at New France.

Finally, the last spot was Fort Anne, this is when the English finally took over the area and fortified to protect against evil doers. This was when the town was renamed Annapolis Royal.

The town of Annapolis Royal has several interesting sites to visit  here are a few.
