We invite
you to stop by Acadian Village on your next trip to Cajun Country -
Lafayette, Louisiana. As you'll read on our History page, The Village was created in 1976 as a means to promote
tourism and allow those developmentally disabled citizens who were serviced
by LARC, Lafayette Association for Retarded Citizens, a place to prosper
in the work force.
Since then, Acadian Village has served as the backdrop for many Cajun
festivals, weddings, special events, corporate functions, Noel Acadien
au Village (Christmas Lighting Program) and of course we're still the
best example around of 19th Century Cajun lifestyle. We're open daily
10am-4pm, excluding major holidays.
