Guides

Groups can take a self-guided tour, or opt for one of our guides to lead them through the village (we recommend 2 hours to complete the tour). We can provide 1 tour guide for every 25 guests at a rate of $35 (in addition to the admission cost). A tour guide must be booked at least two weeks in advance of your arrival date.

TOUR ENHANCEMENTS

We also offer cooking demonstrations and dance lessons; both classes are 30 minutes each and cost $3 per person. There is also a watershed exhibit, which is a free guided educational tour of the environmental aspects of present-day Louisiana (15 people max per group, 45 minutes). Enhancements accompany a tour of the village and must be booked in conjunction with a visit.

CUISINE

Vermilionville has a full-service restaurant and offers meal plans for groups and individuals. If your group has 20+ people and you have decided to book a group tour menu option, we can reduce your admission to $6/person for the village visit in conjunction with the lunch or a meal demo option (90 minute class). Please note that group tour participants are not permitted to eat lunch in La Cuisine de Maman; a pre-determined menu can be made by the tour operator and served in an area where we can better accommodate you.
