Vermilionville Historic Village

Such an AMAZING place. Especially for us, Europeans. We have learned so much about the history of the area!!! Guys who worked there were brilliant. Their knowledge about the history was incredible. It is an absolute MUST. Also, you MUST visit the restaurant. The best food EVER

What a lovely place! Everyone we talked to was very friendly and informative.

Totally enjoyed my visit there, very interesting and informative.

Highly recommend the Vermilion River Boat Tour with Captain Mike and Tour Guide Loree!! Perfect for small groups that want to experience the beauty/history/science of the Vermilion River coupled with the fun of a boat ride! We had 2 adults, 3 teenagers, and an 18 month old. There were about 15 total on the boat- it was very comfortable and pleasant. Loree is very knowledgeable about everything regarding the river so bring your questions! Captain Mike was so welcoming and took very good care of us and even showed us how to tie boating knots - we felt very safe! I've known and traveled with Brandi Comeaux, the director of guest engagement, for several years now and she puts together fantastic travel opportunities like this one that combines fun and learning! Great job Vermilionville!

The restaurant is a great little forgotten eatery. Serves good cajun and creole dishes.

I initially planned to go to Vermillionville just to eat lunch at their well-regarded restaurant, La Cuisine de Maman. By the way, it deserves all of the positive reviews that it has gotten! I was visiting Lafayette to attend Festival International. On Friday, the music doesn't really get started until late afternoon, so I had the bulk of the day free to eat and explore. The historic village at Vermillionville is so well put together and incredibly interesting. The docents that I encountered were wearing period dress and extremely knowledgable. The historic buildings and their contents were well preserved. The grounds were lovely, and I ended up spending several hours after lunch visiting the village buildings and soaking up the history of the area. I think that my favorite spot was the Healer's Garden, full of medicinal plants. Vermillionville is definitely worth a visit. This review doesn't really do it justice.

Must visit place if you are new to Acadiana, just visiting, or want to know more about Cajun/Creole culture.

Grouping of relocated and reconstructed Acadian structures. Interesting glimpse into regional vernacular building style as well as culture.

There's not a thing that wasn't covered. I really adored every second of being there.

We went to the Creole festival here, and it was great. Lots of interesting history, historical sites, great music, and yummy food.

Very interesting and historical.

Great place to learn of Acadian life of days gone by. Visited while staff dressed in period costumes told of the house inhabitants and life it the area. Reminiscent of many other reenactments around the country. Very nice gift shop.

Nice place to visit. It gives you a general idea how people used to live 200 years ago. Tells you also a little bit of the history of Luisiana

Such a wonderful place for locals and tourists! Great home cooking; interesting, educational information about historical Cajun life; and not to be missed live music and dancing!! Such an authentic experience!

One of the must visit and tour places in Lafayette. All people and guides are super welcoming and love to tell stories and bring the place alive. I learnt a lot about Acadian , Native American and creole history and culture
