Scholastique Picou Breaux founded the adorable town of Breaux Bridge when she was only 33. She was a strong and determined woman. She took her time and drew up a community plan called Plan de la Ville du Pont Breaux. This became her master plan for the Village of Breaux Bridge. This plan included everything a Village needed to grow, including a school, a church, streets, and a map with a detailed drawing of her late husband's bridge. Her next step was to sell lots and establish the Village, which she did in August of 1829, founding Breaux Bridge. She married at a young age and had five children. Unfortunately, she was widowed at the age of 32. This loss caused her many financial issues. But those issues motivated her to start developing the plan for Breaux Bridge. She later remarried and had two more children to add to her family. Scholastique Breaux's story is one of determination and courage. This Acadian woman set a high example for all local women. She symbolizes everything that hard-working Acadians of Louisiana are!
