Lafayette is a hedonist’s dream as the city revolves around the Cajun culture which focuses on food, drink, music and dance. Learn a bit more about the Cajun by visiting the Acadian Culture Centre and discover their roots and how their culture became one of the most celebrated in the southern states. To find out what life was like in the early days, visit Vermilionville, a replica of the original settlement with staff, dressed in authentic clothing, performing several displays of early Acadian life. Finally, to see Cajun culture in all its glory, be in Lafayette in April for the Festival International.
