One of my favorite places in Acadiana is Vermilionville. It truly is a living history of our Cajun culture. Vermilionville is also a fantastic place to shop for some incredible unique, local gifts this Christmas. Here, I've gathered eight Cajun books available in the gift shop at Vermilionville that would make great presents for anyone on your list this Christmas.

This is just a small look at what Vermilionville has to offer. There are many more books and gifts available. The Vermillionville gift shop is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

    Bayou Santa

    "Pedersen’s tale is positioned to join the ranks of other holiday classics such as A Cajun Night Before Christmas and The Legend of Papa Noël.  And, his twist in showing how Papa was 'hand-picked' to portray his new role in life, gives even more relevance to the other stories which preceded it." - Theswampkids.com
