If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Situated 19 miles away, Lafayette is worth jumping in the car for. Vermilionville, The Mall of Acadiana and Acadian Village alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Eunice, 45 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Cajun Music Hall of Fame and Museum. (But we’re also big fans of Eunice Museum and Liberty Center for the Performing Arts.)
