A town of around 8,000 people, Ville Platte, Louisiana, is located in the south-central part of the state, just west of Interstate 49 and about 45 miles north of Lafayette. Education and health care are the two largest industries in town, with many in the latter employed by the Ville Platte Medical Center. Three elementary schools and Ville Platte High School make up the school system here, with a Catholic high school and two elementary schools operating as well. Those seeking a house for rent or an apartment for rent interested in higher education will find a Louisiana Technical College campus.
Millers Lake, Cazan Lake and Lake Chicot and Chicot State Park are just minutes away, ensuring plenty of options for those who enjoy spending time on the water in the sunny spring and summer months. Residents just moved into a house for rent or an apartment for rent here can visit Ville Platte Swamp Pop City Museum to learn more about their new home and its history. The second weekend in October, the town comes alive when it hosts the Louisiana Cotton Festival and Le Tournoi de la Ville Platte. In the summer, it hosts Le Festival de la Viande Boucanée (the Smoked Meat Festival).
