Southern Louisiana

We are thinking about spending a few days around Breaux Bridge
or Henderson.
I know that there are several swamp tours in the area.
I remember one with a woman's name.
Just can't remember that name.
Any recommendations?

We have been to a couple of places that serve Cajan Food.
Been to Mulates.
Any recommendations?
  • I wonder if the swamp tour that you think has a woman's name might actually be a man's name: Jean Lafitte, the notorious pirate. I don't remember the price, but it's a very good tour.

    How much are the tours?


    it was a couple of years ago and I don't remember. I do remember that my daughter tipped the driver $20 as did I not knowing about the other. probably a rare time he had gotten a $40 tip. :)

  • Stayed in Henderson the first weekend in May for the Crayfish Festival. We camped at Cajun Palms, very nice park, next trip we are going to try Pioneer or Poche RV park in Breaux Bridge.
    My favorite places to eat in Lafayette Prejeans's, Blue Dog for supper, Central Market for Lunch and T Coon's for Breakfast.
    In Henderson & Breaux Bridge Chicken on the Bayou, Poches, Café De Amis and for the best soul food try Creole Glenda's Kitchen
    Lake Martin's bird sanctuary just south of Lafayette is a neat place to visit.
    For night life go to La Possierres (MSP)
    Just walking around in old downtown of Breaux Bridge and visiting with the locals is a treat.

    Hope this helps
