Abbeville Louisiana

ABBEVILLE is a small town deep in the heart of Acadiana that boasts the most delicious oysters on the Gulf Coast.

If you are an oyster aficionado, DUPUY'S should be on your list.

Who doesn’t love an eatery that has been operating from it’s original location for 130 years?

While the Driver went inside for his paltry 3 dozen salty slurps, the Duke and I wandered around Abbeville’s charming town square.

We enjoyed the music of the bells of St. Mary Magdalen tolling the start of noon services.

Then we shared a scrumptious oyster po-boy al fresco under the old oak trees, delivered by the Driver.

You could almost hear the oysters sloshing around in his belly.

We have been here many times, yet never tire of the location, the restaurants or the warm hospitality of the people.

This trip was special. We discovered and explored a new camping location, PALMETTO ISLAND STATE PARK,  the topic of a future post.

This Park caused great excitement for the Driver, since he could easily head into Abbeville for lunch AND dinner.

Oysters, oysters, oysters… every single day until we wear out our welcome or they run out of oysters.

As long as there's something for me to do while Mui enjoys some oysters, I'm game.
