Cajun Country

To experience Cajun and Creole culture, which blends French and Caribbean heritage, travel west of New Orleans to Cajun Country or Acadiana as it was originally called in the late 18th century.

To get to the heart of the melting pot of cultures that makes up this region of the Deep South, a trip to Cajun Country is a must. A short drive, but a world away from New Orleans, Cajun Country is anchored in Lafayette, Lake Charles, and the surrounding areas where French heritage still thrives.

A fascinating mix of food, music, and linguistic history, the culture and the descendants of the Cajuns or “Acadians” as they were once called has endured from the time of the area’s founding by French settlers exiled from Canada in 1755.

Lafayette is the capital of Cajun cuisine, and a culinary scene that is steeped in tradition. Music is celebrated no matter what time of year you visit, with Cajun and Zydeco music the local tune. Much of Cajun Country borders the iconic swamplands known as bayous which are dotted with moss-draped cypress trees and teeming with wildlife. With so much to experience, you’ll be sure to feel the joie de vivre that resonates throughout this region.
