GUEYDAN, VERMILION, AND SUBDIVISION INFORMATION
Vermilion Parish... "the most Cajun Place on earth."

GUEYDAN, LA
Gueydan is beautifully described on the vermilion.org site, complete with a slide show.

Gueydan is also the home of some of the most beautiful farm and tract land extending as far as the eye can see. We covet our small town atmosphere, where people still know everyone by first names. We consider ourselves lucky to live in such an unhurried atmosphere in this fast-paced world yet we are self-sufficient in many of our needs and within 30 minutes of the interstate and the path to the rest of the world.”

Quote from duckfestival.org
