The Legend of The Evangeline Oak - St Martinville, Louisiana

The Romeo & Juliet of the Deep South tale is one of romanticism and tragedy as we discover the hauntingly beautiful Live Oak tree where Evangeline and Gabriel reunited after being separated on their wedding day by the exiling of the Acadians out of Nova Scotia. Evangeline waited for her new husband under the oak tree until his return. Nestled against the Bayou Teche, this site is a must-see by all!
