New Orleans has a little bit of everything for everybody. However, the city of Lafayette has many of the same offerings and is the place to immerse yourself in Cajun culture.
Cajun culture originated from French immigrants who made their homes in Louisiana in the 1700s. The cuisine is also known for being well-seasoned and delectable.
Like New Orleans, Lafayette has an electrifying nightlife. Visitors can find live music performances every day in various venues like the Blue Moon Saloon and Bon Temps Grill.
Lafayette prides itself on its history and Cajun culture. It also has plenty of eateries to visit on a Cajun Food Tour or other tours to explore this vibrant city.
