With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Eunice, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Cajun Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Eunice Museum and Liberty Center for the Performing Arts. Locals will also probably point you toward Lafayette, 30 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Vermilionville. (But we’d also highly recommend The Mall of Acadiana and Acadian Village.)
