Double ditto on Lafayette/Abbeville. Also Opelousas for plantation hopping.
Great Cajun culture/food/fun in those areas and excellent for immersion in all things Cajun.
Stop in the town of Eunice, Lousiana's Prairie Cajun Capital. It's just northwest of Lafayette. Find some Zydeco music and learn to dance to it. It's easy and great entertainment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO4LeqIlMq4
Cowboy boots and hats are a plus. :C
If you make it to Abbeville you must go to SHUCKS to enjoy some great Cajun food. This place specializes in oysters, hence the name!!
