3 Best Day Trips from New Orleans
"The village may be a recreation of a 300-year old Cajun settlement but given that seven of the eleven homes that have been erected are authentic buildings, the site, operated by (and in support of) an organization that supports people with intellectual disabilities doesn’t feel contrived. There’s a real sense of achievement that shines through as you wander between the carefully-constructed buildings. This is especially true when you read that the land here was cleared and that the homes were moved from various other parts of the region and rebuilt, complete with wooden pegs and mudded walls. There aren’t too many authentic examples of real Acadian history in the region, even though Cajun influences run through lots of local music and food, so it’s inspiring and impressive to see this accurate reconstruction." - Paul Oswell
