Review:

Lafayette is a city on the Vermillion River in southwestern Louisiana. The city is located in the center of Acadiana, an area with a high concentration of Cajun and Creole culture. Acadian Village provides perhaps the best opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture. It is a reconstructed Cajun community that shows authentic furnishings and reconstructed authentic homes and buildings from nearby bayou communities. Other interesting cultural attractions include the Alexandre Mouton House Museum, the Lafayette Science Museum, and the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum. Lafayette is also home to the Cajundome and Cajun Field sports and entertainment venues.
