North Lafayette Parish has a delicious reputation
While you might not have heard of North Lafayette Parish, you’ve more than likely heard of Anthony Bourdain. The late chef and writer gained fame for his travels seeking out the tastiest food in the world, and he found some of his favorites right here in Cajun Country. Bourdain stopped into Laura’s II some years ago, and fans have never forgotten his unabashed love of the stuffed turkey wings. Laura’s II is still serving them up, and North Lafayette Parish is still a wonderful place for food, culture, and history in a rural setting. This vibrant community began in 1755 when French-speaking Acadians emigrated from Canada and settled along the Vermilion River. Today, people from all over the state come to Lafayette Parish to shop, eat, attend school, and take part in cultural events. Those living in the northern part of the parish know there are no nearby downtowns or public transport, and that's exactly why they choose it.
Relaxing in brick homes with French influences
Homes throughout the parish are a wonderful mix of traditional and contemporary styles. There are manufactured homes as well as custom-built residences, and brick is a favorite building material here. Acadian homes mingle with ranch styles, cottages and French-inspired houses, and lawns are very well-kept. Prices range from $135,000 for a three-bedroom cottage to $800,000 for a four-bedroom contemporary new construction.

Supporting neighbors at LARC's Acadian Village
On the outskirts of the city of Lafayette, you’ll find LARC’s Acadian Village. LARC is a nonprofit with 50 years of experience helping people with developmental disabilities and their families through residential, vocational and community support services. All the proceeds from the village go to the organization. And the village itself is worth an afternoon out even without a worthy cause. There are a dozen homes throughout the site representing Acadian, or Cajun, lifestyles over the past few centuries. The oldest was begun in 1800 and had an addition put on in 1840. Exhibits in the homes include looms, blankets, spinning wheels, and more while there are larger displays on Cajun music and blacksmithing tools.
Traveling north through the parish, you’ll come to Farm d’Allie Golf Club. This 18-hole championship course was designed by Jeffery D. Blume and occupies 215 acres. Located on bottomland, or the former riverbed of the Mississippi River, the course was once used as a cotton field, cattle ranch, and horse-riding area, so “farm” was a natural name for the course. Opened in 2000, the course has a driving range and welcomes golfers of all ages and skill levels.
