Review:
Lafayette is located at the center of Louisiana’s Creole and Cajun country. The area’s rich cultural history, good food, good music and natural surroundings have given it the moniker “Happiest City in America.”
Visit the Lafayette Museum Association’s Alexandre Mouton House for a look at a restored 1800’s Louisiana style home that once belonged to the state’s 12th governor.
The Acadia Center for the Arts celebrates the visual and performing arts with exhibits and performances. When downtown, notice the murals take a food tour for samples of Louisiana’s best Cajun and Creole seafood, gumbo and boudin. You can go trail hiking, kayaking, birding, and swamp tours in the surrounding wetlands and swamps.
