After Mardis Gras, we spent some time there. Great Cajun Foods available at the local area restaurants.

Prejeans, Lafayette ...good cajun food and great atmosphere.

When in Lake Charles you can go south to Cameron Parish and visit Cameron Prairie Wildlife Reserve. It's a National Wildlife Reserve with a visitors center and walk. It also has a photo blind you can sit in out in a planted field that should be full of ducks and geese that time of year. You can drive around that planted field also. I often see people out there during the winter photographing and filming the wildlife. It's just north of the Intracostal Waterway. You could stay at one of the Casinos in Lake Charles and drive down south on the Creole Nature Trail.

For Lafayette I would stay at the KOA in Scott. Eat at Fezzo's and 3 of the best places to get boudin (Best Stop, Don's and Billy's). I also recommend the Cajun Food Tour in Lafayette and get a sampling of Cajun food at multiple places. Other eating places to try would be Prejean's and Randol's, where you can eat some good Cajun food and also take in the Cajun music and dance.

I was dissapointed in Prejean's the last time I ate there but I have eaten good food there in the past. Maybe I had too high of expectations. I grew up in Evangeline Parish north of Ville Platte.

We enjoyed Poche's Fish N Camp in Breaux Bridge. We used it as a home base for visiting the Tabasco Factory and Avery Island and to eat at Poche's. Rain kept us from visiting the Lake Martin Cypress Island Preserve which is nearby. The crawfish etoufee at Poche's is the best I've ever had and we filled up our freezer with meats from their meat market.
