Until the experience of the 1745 siege taught them otherwise, Louisbourg's Engineers felt that an attack from the landward side of the town was unlikely.

The immense fortifications surrounding the town as well as the craggy coast and marshy terrain near Louisbourg ruled out an assault from that direction in their minds.

Jusqu’à ce que l’attaque de 1745 leur prouve le contraire, les ingénieurs de Louisbourg croyaient qu’une attaque du côté terrestre de la ville était improbable.

Les fortifications immenses qui entourent la ville, ainsi que la côte rocailleuse et les marécages près de Louisbourg rendaient un assaut impossible d’après eux.
