Step into the storybook world of La Sagouine and leave with a true appreciation of the Acadian "joie de vivre". Meet the colourful characters invented by internationally renowned Acadian novelist and author Antonine Maillet's imagination. A real live village, in an enchanting natural setting alive with theatre, music, comedy and dance, allows visitors to discover the unique Acadian culture.
Evenings also come alive with a variety of dinner-theatres and musicals. The whole cast of characters, accompanied by two house bands, will keep your fingers snapping, your feet tapping and your spirits light all through your visit. Or you can take a nice walk across the footbridge to l'Île-aux-Puces and visit La T'chuisine des Mathilda, where you will learn to cook a variety of Acadian meals. A visit to the house of La Sagouine is essential, as is a visit to the house of La Sainte where you'll meet Les Chicaneuses who have many tales to tell.
Continuing on to La Boucanerie, you are sure to discover a variety of fishing trades and even taste smoked herring. Make your way to the Phare à Gapi, a place full of legends! Perhaps you will be brave enough to stop at the Shack des clairvoyants and discover many mysteries of the future, once you have enjoyed a relaxing drink at our very own Bootleggeux.
Join our tour guide for a daily English presentation and you will learn about the Acadian culture through its history, past and present! Accompanied by our fiddler, we will even show you how to play the spoons! For the sweet tooth, you'll get to taste one of our famous Acadian desserts!
Come and live the Acadian joie de vivre!
