Must eat at the Vermilionville restaurant. Best ever. If you are lucky enough to go on a Friday, be sure to get the seafood gumbo and the biscuits. Both are over the top and the best we have ever had. Special thanks to the friendliest people ever. Vermilionville is such a learning experience about Acadian, Cajun and Creole people. Really enjoyed the experience and the knowledge gained. Sharon and JD from North Carolina.

This was so nice! The employees were so friendly, from the first step in the door until the end. We did the self guided tour and loved being able to take time at each building, reading all the information and interacting with the artisans. The artisans really do a great job. They really seem to love their jobs and really take their time answering and explaining things. We kinda highjacked the lady doing the quilting, she was so sweet and we had the best conversation about old memories. The weather was great but even if it wasn't I don't think it would have really effected the outcome and enjoyment. Don't forget to cross the water on the rope ferry! We got to see turtles and alligators. Oh and I got to love on a friendly cat that probably would have enjoyed his nap more if I just let him sleep but even tho he was annoyed he happily allowed me to get some cat love. Lol

I wish we had more time. We got there late and thoroughly enjoyed the Cajun music jam but we wanted to see some of the village so we left the jam to explore. It poured rain that day and we got stuck on a porch until it slowed down. We will have to come back again some day. It is a great concept. We spent some time with the woman demonstrating the quilting. She was a delight. Oh and our favorite volunteer was Louie the cat! Long live Louie!!
