Find a Lafayette assisted living facility (ALF) here in the heart of Cajun country.
Lafayette may live in the shadow of its famous sister city further south. But its history is just as rich and diverse as New Orleans. The Spanish, French, African, American Indian, and English all played a part in its forming, stirring around like a pot of gumbo. The Lafayette area is known as Acadian country because some of the original Europeans were from French-speaking Acadia, Nova Scotia. This term eventually morphed into "Cajun." In Lafayette, you'll find plenty of cultural reminders of this heritage.
To start, visit the Acadian Village, a reconstructed 19th century Cajun community situated on bayou. A handful of the cypress-timbered buildings are from the era, such as the Billeaud House from an old sugar plantation. The Bayou Vermilion Living History Museum and Folklife Park encompasses 23 acres of living history with artisans, music, shops, and Cajun food.
