Touchet's Bar is home to the French Jam Sessions. We headed over there Saturday afternoon.
The music is French Cajun. We stayed for several hours, watching several changes in players. Had a chance to do some dancing too. |
Everyone liked Touchet's slogan. |
Every week highlights a different local band. |
The town of Abbeville was founded in 1944 by a Catholic Priest, Pere Antoine Desire Megret, who was from Abbeville, France. The original name of the town was La Chapelle. |
Megret designed the town around 2 squares. This town square is a park with this large live oak tree. |
Steen's Pure Cane Syrup is one of the larger employers in town. No tours though. |
The old depot is now a local cafe. |
The Vermillion Parish Courthouse dominates the 2nd town square. |
