Visit the Acadian culture of southern Evangeline! Learn how the exiled Acadians settled this area and developed the wonderful Cajun culture we have today. Learn how the Fontenots, Vidrines, Soileaus, Ardoins, Lafleurs, De Villes, Manuels, Berzas, Brignacs, Lemoines, Guillorys, and all the other Acadians came and made Evangeline such a wonderful place. Learn too about the other French, the Creoles, who came in small numbers but yet have an interesting story too. The Pitres, Aucoins, and Prejeans, for example, came from Fort Toulouse in, believe it or not, Alabama! They were soldiers fighting the British! Wow, isn’t that cool! They came and intermarried with the large Acadian group; they married the Acadian Fontenots, Soileaus, etc and adopted their Acadian ways. Cajuns were born from the original Acadian culture! Thank a Fontenot today!
