Le Pays de la Sagouine is an Acadian celebration in Bouctouche, New Brunswick, Canada, founded by Antonine Maillet. She wanted to show what it was like to live the Acadian life and by writing over forty novels on the Acadians (including her award winning novel "La Sagouine"), she did just that. Le Pays de la Sagouine is a reenactment of the Acadian culture and is both entertaining and historic for viewers. Le Pays de la Sagouine is said to attract 68,000 people a season, which far exceeds the population of Bouctouche (2,426).
