Situated along picturesque coastline in the Yarmouth & Acadian Shores region, Argyle is a community that is rich in Acadian history. With over 60% of the population speaking both French and English, Argyle is one of the most bilingual regions in Canada.

Tap into the Acadian culture and learn more about its colourful and storied past and present by visiting Le Village historique acadien de la Nouvelle Écosse. Stop in, sit down and bask in Acadian heritage at this early 1900s seaside village, situated on a beautiful 17-acre site overlooking Pubnico Harbour.
