Le Pays de la Sagouine

I loved it! The experience is one of a kind and is very enjoyable! I highly recommend checking it out if you understand French!!!

Staff was awesome and we all had a great time. Plus its a beautiful place

I found this place amazing. From this area you can learn what Acadians really are. Just for the love of their culture, music, and their history, plus the pride in it, it's worth the visit.

Le Pays de la Sagouine is a tourist park in the town of Bouctouche, New Brunswick, which pays tribute to the writings of Antonine Maillet. The story of La Sagouine, a poor Acadian cleaning lady is brought to life in a prohibition-era Acadian fishing village.The replica village stands on a small island in the river, connected by a boardwalk to the shore. I haven't been lucky enough to pass through NB when the island is open, and the play is being performed- but always enjoy the opportunity to take a hike through the shoreline trails.

The people were very engaging and willing to switch from French to English. The music and stories on stage were in French only, but still very entertaining and good music if you can’t understand.

We loved the place while stopping over on our way from Halifax to Quebec. The place is pretty and very nicely maintained. There was a show but we couldn’t watch it completely. It seemed interesting however it was in French. I really wish they have something for non-French speaking visitors as well.

As wedding photographers here in New Brunswick, we love to have such an iconic Acadian wedding venue nearby! The bridge and the scenic surroundings provide ample photo opportunities :)C'était fantastique!~ Matt and Chera

We really enjoyed the short videos of La Sagouine which provided info on the the acadian culture and history. This was followed by a music and story telling Les folkloriques " well worth the time!"

It was so interesting to visit, and I especially loved the music & songs. It is visitor friendly in that getting around is made easy. 'La Sagouine' by A. Maillet has always intrigued. A simple but unique & funny close-up take on life, from a humble worker's point of view. The setting is beautiful, and the people were so friendly. I certainly will return. I've yet to try the highly recommended buffet.

This place has found its way again. We did not realise how much French would be spoken and came at the wrong time for an English show … but one of the many performers scooped us up and gave us a private orientation while the French show was on. We learned a great deal about the Arcadian culture and history. We then visited several areas and each performer (one or two wait in each building to engage with you, if you initiate it) was able to engage entertainingly with us in English. We watched the tail end of a French show on our way out, and could see the audience were captivated and entertained by it. The buildings themselves are interesting and in good repair, and the entry allows you to return the following day.
