Abbeville is a historic town in South Louisiana. The food and the many festivals make our historic town a place to visit! How can you pass up boiled crawfish, crabs, gumbo, shrimp etouffee at our very popular Cajun/Seafood restaurants, SHUCKS!, Riverfront, and Dupuy's? All locally family owned restaurants that have been in the community for decades! Visit Abbeville in the fall months and you'll be immersed in our Cajun culture with our Saturday French Markets and the world famous Omelette Festival where chefs cook over 5,000 eggs in one very large black cast iron skillet! It is surely an experience you'll never forget! The Cajun Zydeco music that is played throughout the year in bars, restaurants, and all throughout town will surely get you moving too! And what town can actually say that alligators, pelicans, and crawfish are literally their back yard neighbors! Abbeville, LA is surely a place to visit if you want to be happy and leave with a full satisfied belly! :)
It has been fairly quiet where I live in Abbeville. The neighbors are very nice and friendly. I am also 5 minutes from the store and hospital which is very convenient. My dogs are also able to run and play in my yard, which is very nice considering the yard I had previously.
Small town. Not much to see. Pretty quite overall. No Nightclubs, but have many bars. However, the food is mmmm.. good! Trust me. Born and Raise.
