The author, Carl A. Brasseaux wrote a book entitled, "Scattered to the Wind. The Hebert's, Thibodeaux's,and Breaux's are my decedents that refused to swear allegiance to the British Crown. By their race and deep religious fervor they accepted to exile in 1755. I am truly proud to say that I am preserving those Cajun customs, Christian living and "Joie de Vivre- Joy of Living." I love meeting people from all over the world, and it is truly a gift to share my beautiful Cajun Land. I am glad that those scattered winds brought my ancestors to the land of milk and honey here in Southwest Louisiana. Hoping that I will get to meet you. Please come visit and share our Cajun Hospitality. Fortunately, we have great restaurants, Cajun and Creole Music, Louisiana festivals (Mardi Gras, Crawfish, etc.), Christian Churches, and the love of nature (Lake Martin) a mile and a half from "La Petite Voie de St. Therese.
