Acadia Parish, Louisiana
Acadia Parish sits in the heart of southern Louisiana, near Lafayette. It’s Cajun country through and through.
The parish got its name from the Acadians, French settlers who were kicked out of Canada and found a new home here. Rice fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Crawfish is king.
Folks here know how to work hard and party harder. The food? Out of this world. Crowley, the parish seat, calls itself the “Rice Capital of America”.
