Step into the storybook world of “La Sagouine” and you’re sure to leave with a true appreciation of Acadian “joie de vivre”. Located in beautiful Bouctouche, New Brunswick, this enchanted village brings to life the writings of internationally renowned novelist and author, Antonine Maillet. Alive with colourful characters, music, theatre, comedy and dance, Le Pays de la Sagouine is a celebration of our unique Acadian culture.
Taking a scenic walk across the footbridge to l’Île-aux-Puces, stop by La cuisine à Mathilda to learn the secrets of cooking traditional Acadian meals. A visit to the house of La Sagouine is essential and Les Chicaneuses always have many stories to tell at the house of La Sainte.
Continuing on to La Boucanerie, you’ll discover a variety of fishing trades and maybe try a taste of smoked herring. Make your way to Le Phare à Gapi, the lighthouse full of legends, or perhaps you will be brave enough to stop at the Shack des clairvoyants to discover many mysteries of the future. With all the activity of the village, a relaxing drink at our very own Bootleggeux may be just the thing to rejuvenate you for an evening of entertainment.
Evenings at Le Pays de la Sagouine offer a variety of entertaining dinner theatres. The whole cast of characters, accompanied by two house bands, will keep your fingers snapping, your feet tapping and your spirits light all through your visit.
Join our tour guide for a daily English presentation and you will learn about the Acadian culture through its history, past and present. Accompanied by our fiddler, we’ll even show you how to play the spoons. And for the sweet tooth, don’t miss the chance to taste one of our famous Acadian desserts.
Fun for the whole family, Le Pays de la Sagouine is waiting to share their Acadian “joie de vivre”!
