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!!

This was a really different experience. Good intro at reception, with detailed map. Really is a living history park. There was even a lady quilting. A lot of original houses, most of which you could go in. Amused by the accordion player in the school house. We had a chat with him in French, then he played some Acadian music from Missouri on his iphone! The boat was fun. A grand time had by all!
