Abbeville at a Glance
Abbeville is the seat of Vermilion Parish, located about 20 miles south of Lafayette. The city has a population of roughly 12,400 and was founded in 1843 by a French Catholic priest, Father Antoine Desire Megret. The Vermilion River runs through the center of town, and the city's layout reflects its French colonial heritage.
The Abbeville Cultural and Historical Alliance operates the main street district, which includes a collection of early-twentieth-century commercial buildings. The Giant Omelette Celebration, held each November, is the city's most distinctive festival. Chefs prepare a 5,000-egg omelette in a giant skillet as part of a tradition shared with omelette-making cities in France and Belgium.
Vermilion Parish's economy rests on agriculture, particularly rice, crawfish, and cattle, as well as oil and gas extraction.
