In the summer of 2016 Susan Surette-Draper participated in an organized voyage billed as La France des Acadiens. In this Brown Bag Lunch, you will see her photos of the towns and landscapes that produced the colonists known as Acadians. You will ultimately experience the city from which these 17th century families left for the new world, La Rochelle.

Susan Surette-Draper is a third year Board Member of Acadia Lifelong Learning (ALL) who has spent much of her retirement exploring Acadian heritage as it pertains to her own family, the valley landscape and Acadian history in general. Her final years of employment were spent as a heritage interpreter at Grand-Pré National Historic Site. As president of Les Amis de Grand-Pré she has continued to augment her knowledge. Retirement has also made it possible to refine her writing skills, thanks to ALL’s Writing Fiction courses with Susan Haley.
