This is the site of where the French Royal Battery was located. All that are left are the foundations.

French engineers designed the Royal Battery to help defend against a forced entrance into Louisbourg harbour. Completed in 1732, the V-shaped fortification mounted as many as 40 cannons. In both sieges, 1745 and 1758, British troops disembarked down the coast and approached the town from the landward site.
Each time the Royal Battery had to be abandoned without a fight.
Here is one of the signs in the park that shows what the Royal Battery was like.

This model of the Royal Battery is at the Fortress Visitors Center.
I had to take the photo through glass, so it is a little blurred.
