ST. MARTIN PARISH
St. Martin Parish, where Cajun culture runs deep, the music is hopping,
dancing with brunch is the norm, and Louisiana’s outdoor scene
begs you to come and play.
Home to the world’s largest freshwater river basin, the Atchafalaya
Basin provides every type of outdoor recreational activity imaginable.
Swamp tours with expert guides are an awesome way to experience
and learn about this magical landscape.
Breaux Bridge, the “Crawfish Capital of the World,” is a city with a
deep history and local charm. You can pick up pieces of its history
yourself when you visit Breaux Bridge’s historic downtown district
filled with unique shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Just up the Bayou Teche, in St. Martinville, one of Louisiana’s oldest
towns is considered the birthplace of Cajun culture. Founded in 1765
by exiled French-Canadians, St. Martin de Tours Catholic Church
dominates the downtown square. Nearby stands the African
American Museum, the Evangeline Oak, and the Museum of the
Acadian Memorial, which is home to the Wall of Names of 3,000
Acadian refugees.
St. Martin Parish is a place like none other. Experience the difference!
