Less flashy than Vermilionville is Acadian Village , where you follow a brick path around a rippling bayou to restored houses, craftsman barns and a church. If you’re lucky enough to be there on a day when Mr Manville is minding the school house, be sure to sit a spell. The octogenarian shares stories of his childhood, plays a tune on his fiddle, tells a joke or two and kisses the ladies’ hands – always the Cajun gentleman.
