Breaux Bridge, Louisiana
John and Mildred Hebert lived across from each other on the banks of the Bayou Teche.
and there romantic love story came to a halt at the beginning of World War II.
They married on September 20, 1940, and John left his beautiful bride and his beloved Cajun Country; and on November 25, 1940, Company F, 156th Infantry, Breaux Bridge National Guard Unit was activated to active military service. The Acadians kept the "faith and hope "that there love ones would return home.
Emmaline did everything to ensure we had the best stay in Breaux Bridge for Cycle Zydeco. Perfect location to enjoy all the sights and sounds (zydeco music) of the area. Very much enjoyed our stay and the city.
I have stayed in maybe 50 rentals through the years, and this was my favorite, mainly because of the kindness and generosity of Emmaline, our sweet hostess, 79, who reminds me of my grandmother, when I was little! She generously stocked our fridge before our arrival, and brought us home cooked food about every other day! Her amazing cooking is Cajun, of course, with a little KICK to it! Her door was always open if we needed something, and those stop-ins turned into visits, where my gf helped peel pecans with her for a pie at her kitchen table, and we all sang together! My OMA is long gone, and we wish we could adopt Emmaline! We will keep in touch, and of course stay with her, when we return to Cajun Country! The new unit itself is comfortably appointed, with a super comfy bed and couch, where you sink in a bit, A/C, and ceiling fans throughout. It is truly a home away from home! Thank you, Emmaline, for being you! You have left an imprint on our hearts!
