It’s a good illustration of the way nature, culture, and history intersect in this southern Louisiana city. Visitors can still view the town founder’s original home, the Alexandre Mouton House, and admire its authentic period furnishings. For a closer encounter with the past, visit Vermilionville, a living-history museum that explores the Acadian, Native American, and Creole traditions that shaped Louisiana from 1765 to 1890.This confluence of cultures is reflected in Lafayette’s authentic Cajun food and music scenes. As you walk around town, you’re likely to spot a zydeco band or two churning out tunes on accordions, guitars, and wearable percussion instruments known as vest froittoirs. Look for a streetside table within earshot of a band and order a spicy shrimp po’boy for the quintessential taste of Lafayette.
