Le Village

Top choice in Cajun Country


This cute spot is a typically pretty rural B&B, but where many places opt for wedding-cake frilly decor, Le Village is stocked with a tasteful collection of rustic, often Cajun-derived folk art. If you need space, there's an entire cottage available for rent. Prices drop significantly over the weekend. A two-night minimum stay is required.
