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 nearly every type of outdoor recreational activity

imaginable. Swamp tours with expert guides are an awesome
way to experience and learn about this magical landscape.

In the town of Arnaudville, visitors can experience a thriving

art community. The robust art scene begins at NUNU Arts

and Culture Collective, a volunteer-run art gallery, and artisan
market. The 5,000-square-foot former Hardware store is a

must-stop attraction for visitors seeking one-of-a-kind art

and/or gifts.

Just up the Bayou Teche, in St. Martinville, one of Louisiana’s

oldest towns, is generally 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. Come experience
the difference! Plan your trip today.
