Vermilion Parish is a multicultural blend steeped in history with a dash of "joie de vivre" finishing the mix. This bilingual, coastal parish is very large and diverse with wandering bayous and farmlands, authentic local cuisine, and Cajun towns connecting it all. Vermilion Parish has some of the state's most popular festivals. Learn about our French heritage and deep-rooted culture by visiting one of our many museums or tour a hundred-year-old church.
