Arnaudville

TWINNING AGREEMENT
Arnaudville and Jausiers, France (1995)

In the town of Arnaudville, located at the junction of Bayous Teche and Fuselier, “cultural economy” is not just a buzz phrase. In recent years, Arnaudville has become a haven for musicians, artists, dancers, writers, culinary adventurers, and champions of the French language. In fact, approximately four out of ten residents speak French on a daily basis. Through a partnership with the French Consulate in New Orleans as well as with France, Canada, and Haiti, an exchange of ideas and business practices has enhanced the residents’ way of life and the economy of Arnaudville.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the French language here. In fact, at NUNU Arts & Culture Collective, residents and visitors can enjoy La Table Kreyol on the second Saturday or at La Table Francaise on the last Saturday of each month. These two language learning tables are open for speakers of any type of French or those who want to learn.
