Abbeville is someplace special on the bayou with picturesque Cajun charm, unique cuisine, museums, shops, downtown festivals and more.

Welcome to Acadia Parish, Louisiana. It's a story of quiet majesty and beauty, of Cajun prairies, working rice mills, and preserved Main Streets. It is a place where, even if only temporarily, you're family.

Consider this an invitation to experience what locals call ........joie de vivre  -  a little joy of living.

Alexandria and Pineville sit on opposite banks of the Red River in the "Heart of Louisiana," and offer culture, history, art, recreation, food and fun.

"Experience culture, food and fun." Visit Coushatta Casino Resort, go canoeing, see trottingbred races, parks, festivals and fairs; hunt and fish.
