Fort Gaspareaux, French colonial fort in Baie Verte, Canada.
The fort stands on a small point of land extending into Baie Verte, covering 1.23 hectares of coastal terrain near the Gaspareaux River estuary.
French troops constructed Fort Gaspareaux in 1751 under Marquis de la Jonquière's orders, serving as a strategic base between Fort Beauséjour and Louisbourg until British capture in 1755.
The archaeological remains contain traces of military life, including nine graves of provincial soldiers and artifacts from the French and British colonial periods.
The National Historic Site, located on Fort Moncton Road in Westmorland, remains accessible throughout the year for educational visits and historical exploration.
The fort's earthwork structure measured 180 feet square with blockhouses at each corner, protected by a surrounding ditch and wooden palisade system.
