St. Martinville, about 15 miles from Breaux Bridge, pays tribute to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem, “Evangeline,” about the heartbreaks encountered by the Acadian people’s expulsion from Canada and grueling resettlement in Louisiana.
The Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site visitor’s center has
outstanding accessible restrooms. The first floor of Maison Olivier, an 1815
plantation house, is wheelchair accessible.
The entire Attakapas Trail, named
for the Attakapas Native Americans that inhabited the area before the Acadians,
is paved and accessible.
Maison des Amis as limited access in one of its rooms.
The
grounds of this bed and breakfast right next to the historic district are
accessible.
For a 100 percent accessible room, book one of three rooms with
roll-in shower at the Staybridge Suites in Lafayette, about 11 miles from
Breaux Bridge.
