LAFAYETTE

Lafayette is at the heart of Louisiana’s Cajun and Creole Country,
an area known as the Happiest City in America. Its history dates
back to the 18th century, when Canada’s Acadians were expelled
and settled in Louisiana. More than two centuries later, tourists
visit for a rare taste of the genuine Acadian experience.

Lafayette has a distinct culinary identity as the epicenter of
Cajun cuisine, which has earned it the title of Best Food City in
the USA. Lafayette’s culinary scene is steeped in tradition and
continues to evolve with a new generation of chefs, making it an
incredible place to eat.

No matter what time of year you visit Lafayette, they will have
something for you to celebrate. It doesn’t take long to get hooked
on Lafayette’s Cajun and Zydeco music, and there’s never a
shortage of dance partners if you want to try your hand at a two-
step or waltz.

Whether your passion is for its rich cultural history, the bustling
culinary scene, or the distinctive blend of Cajun and Zydeco
music, you can be sure you will leave with a smile.
