Originating from 17^th century France, the Acadians were the first French settlers in North America. Not without hardship and great lost, Le Grand Dérangement (the deportation) scattered Acadians throughout the world. The Village Historique Acadien (VHA) portrays the ingenuity and determination of the Acadians starting anew.

Renowned for the authentic character of its recreation of history and the warm welcome it reserves for its visitors, the Village Historique Acadien recalls the life of our Acadian ancestors from 1770 to 1949. More than 40 historic buildings, occupied and animated by interpreters in period costumes, give an impression of going back in time, of a brief travel through history. Each of the inhabitants has a story to tell, a craft or custom to bring to life. Take the time to savour this unique experience.
