is a small city located in Evangeline Parish in south central Louisiana. As of the 2000 census, the population was 8,145 residents. The name Ville Platte is French for flat town. Ville Platte has a Historic District that lies on part of the historic El Camino Real or Spanish Royal Road. This very old road was first traveled by settlers in the land that would become the United States. The Royal Road began on the east coast of America, passed through Ville Platte, Bayou Chicot, Natchitoches and led west to California. Ville Platte's Historic District also boasts two buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ville Platte is home to several annual festivals. This beautiful tree-lined city is also a member of the Main Street Program, sponsored by the State of Louisiana, Division of Culture and Tourism.
