Great visit - Very good visit, a good way to learn more about the history and ways of life before. The explanatory panels are in English and French, very appreciated! Cheap entry, visit lasts around 1 hour.

Well worth visiting - Great tour, really friendly and informative. Learnt so much about Louisiana and American History. Our tour guides were great

Well organized, edicational yet also relaxing. - Vermilionville gives a really good impression of how the Acadien people had to cope with plenty challenges. How their French culture merged with other cultures. Very good restaurant and swell music. So go out and visit Vermilionville!

Very interesting and accessible for PMR - Very interesting visit and the explanations are also in French. We met volunteers, in old-fashioned costumes, who gave us explanations about life at the time, in French. It’s a good way to learn a little more about life in Louisiana at that time. Most of the houses can be visited and are accessible for wheelchair users.

touring Historic Vermilionville, so Rich in Culture! - this was awesome so wonderful that our cajun heritage is being kept alive. The guides are awesome love that they get in character to spin cotton, play music instruments etc.

Unexpected trek back in history. - This was a fascinating experience. Our guide was Cajun and she thoroughly explained the different cultures that make up the area. She told us the history of each building as well as the French words. I highly recommend taking the tour as the explanation made everything come together.

Cultural learning experience - Lovely setting. GREAT crawfish etoufee and bread pudding. Highlight was definitely Chief! Very knowledgeable and witty. Learned about his tribe, among others that called Louisiana home.

Great window into the bayou history - My wife and I spent about three hours here and really enjoyed ourselves. The self guided tour takes you through more than a dozen homes from the 1800’s that were relocated from the region and restored. The “village” includes houses, schoolhouse’s, a church, blacksmith shop, livery stand and even outhouses. Each house is decorated with furniture and fixtures from that particular period. There is even a building set aside for authentic Cajun-style music with locals playing guitars, banjos, fiddles and of course, harmonicas. The place even has a restaurant and a beautiful gift shop. (We did not try the Cajun traditional-style restaurant) We would have given it a 5 but there were only two ladies dressed in brood clothing and no one in the other buildings like the blacksmith shop even though this was a Saturday. We were told that they are having a hard time getting folks to volunteer.

To visit - It's a very beautiful place, I recommend this place much more than the Acadian village for the same price it's much better Vermilionville.

A Disappointing Experience - My friend and I visited on Saturday 8 June 2024. The first 3 buildings beside the entrance/gift shop were closed. I went back to check on that and was advised that the performance centre also was closed. They didn't tell us that 4 of 14 (c.30%) buildings closed and there was no price reduction. We only saw one interpreter in costume, the accordion player. We found the buildings and artefacts to be interesting but not overly exciting. There were no snacks available in the restaurants. I settled for what turned out to be a miserly portion of catfish and my friend had shrimp salad which was OK. But the staff and other guests were extremely loud. Overall a disappointing experience.
