LARC'S ACADIAN VILLAGE REVIEWS
This annual Christmas lights festival never fails to impress! The facility itself is quite remarkable with its period examples of Cajun homes and buildings comprising an Acadian village. Add to that thousands upon thousands of Christmas lights some of which accent the wooden bridges and the lovely pond as a backdrop. (The chapel is stunning.) As if that wasn't enough, there are activities and rides for the children as well as live musicians and artisans. It's all a must see!
Great experience this year. A lot of the lights were fixed from previous years, a few still out. A great storyteller told his grampa's way of celebrating Christmas. Very fun this year.
They strive to educate guests on the interactions of these groups and the connections between past and contemporary folklife, thus empowering guests to apply these lessons from their shared histories.

A beautiful tree-covered 23-acre site on the banks of the Bayou Vermilion with 19 attractions. Provides demonstrations on crafts performed by the early settlers

VERMILIONVILLE REVIEWS
This place was wonderful. We learned quite a bit about Louisiana history. There is plenty to read but most of our information came from talking with the people there. With the exception of two ladies, everyone there seemed to want to engage and tell us about the houses, the people, and give us tons of background information. We really enjoyed ourselves!
The magic in the air here is rich and old. The muddy waters of the Vermillion River are haunting and peaceful. There is plenty of parking here and you can quickly escape the city and feel transported to the bayou. I would recommend taking a picnic lunch and sit outside enjoying this peaceful setting. A very cool place worth visiting.
