Cajun Country
Heading south will take you into Cajun Country, home to the best jambalaya, crawfish, and gumbo in the nation. This area is the heart of French culture in Louisiana. The treasures in this area of the state are the small towns still rich in Cajun culture and relatively untouched by big city life. Visit Breaux Bridge and St. Martinville to learn the secret to perfect crawfish etouffe and relax while watching a sunset over Bayou Teche. Fishermen will want to head to the Atchafalaya River Basin and then take a sightseeing adventure trip to end the day. Before heading to the Morgan City area, be sure to visit the staircase at the Chretien Point Plantation which houses the staircase duplicated for Tara in Gone With the Wind. After arriving in Morgan City, head to the Tabasco plant where you can watch the famous hot sauce being made from scratch. History and architecture lovers will want to note that the area is home to 400 properties on the National Register of Historic Places. Take a swamp tour, visit a Civil War site, or tour a garden to get a feel for what makes this region and its people who they are today. |
