Saint John's Francophone History On Display In New Production

A new show depicting the true story of Francoise-Marie Jaquelin debuts later this month in Saint John.  Jaquelin is described as the intrepid defender of Fort La Tour.


ARC-F is putting on the show three times a day on Water street. Executive Director Michel Cote tells CHSJ News he thinks this story will resonate with Saint Johners and American tourists.
Cote says since 1640 the Fort Latour story has been an interesting peice of the francophone history of Saint John.
The 45-minute show begins August 23rd and runs at 10 and 11:30am and 1pm daily on days when cruise ships are in port. It will run until late October.
