Eunice

When most people think of Cajuns, they think of pirogues on the bayou. But Eunice – named for the town founder’s beloved wife – is the “prairie” Cajun capital of Louisiana. 

Things to Do

Explore the Cajun Music Hall of Fame & Museum and the Savoy Music Center for a glimpse of Cajun music history. Later, stroll through the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center.

Places to Stay

Consider staying at the historic Keller House or the Cajun Campground.

Food

Grab a bite at Mo’ Crawfish or Cafe Mosaic

Getting There

It's easy to navigate Eunice — especially since the city is about 45 minutes from Lafayette. If you're flying into town, rent a car, hail a taxi or book a rideshare from the Lafayette Regional Airport.
