warm and welcoming to who????????????????????????????????

I love my hometown so much I could never live any where else.

My great 8th removed grand father was one of the first settlers to arrive from the south of France Born 18 Oct 1753 in Castelnaudary, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France Marriage 14 Oct 1790 • Opelousas, St Landry Parish, Louisiana to ..... (1770 LA-1827 LA) I've traced my family on both sides to the 1500s ... Seems many Cajuns have their true heritage wrong... seems few know the real history of Cajun country... it's every bit as much Spanish country as it is French if not more so.. If you are really interested then do the work... I did..

Once again an attempt to describe Cajun country that leaves out much of it's true history. A large part of Cajun country history is the arrival of both French settlers from the south of France and the many prison hulks that arrived with prisoners ... long before the first black slaves arrived to the new world. They were not indentured Servants they were prisoners transported and sold by the King , it's way to much for me to describe and explain here. I've studied them for over 40 years.. Many Cajun families have no idea their great 5th to 7th removed grand parent or parents were sold as white slaves as convict prisoners.... that is how they ended up in the new world... some directly to the gulf coast shores some traveled south east from the Atlantic coast as free and runaway slaves white European slaves..

LUMPY!!!

Lafayette, Louisiana.

Best city in the US ⚜

OIL and offshore platform support makes south Louisiana abundant in population and growth. Great cities. Including Houma.

Lindo video

I-10 and internet killed the Cajun culture,In the 80's and early 90's everyone west of the Atchafalia had a thick Cajun accent whether they spoke French or not. Kinda sad it's rare now

I want to come to Lafayette to live and work, was thinking monroe or Shreveport.not sure where to start..great video

When I was a sophomore in college, I went down to the Louisiana oil patch to make money in the summer. They sent me to Lafayette. I was "that Yankee girl" there, lol. Can you imagine a teenager on their own in Lafayette? It was a scream. I'd never heard of Cajuns before. This was the 70's -- the Lone Star Cafe was still in full swing and I went to many Fais Do-dos out in the countryside. One of them they were auctioning off a literal oil derrick. Amazing food, amazing music and absolutely wonderful people.

Do they have any down payment assistance programs for people that need help buying a house

Nice documentary on Lafayette. Now you need to make part 2!

happy i found this video ! I will definitely have to see the verde next time im back in Ausin - all the music got me so excited! and incredible job on the video - i can see all the love / energy put into it. awesome

Thus far in Lafayette i have not been picking up this vibe. Sorry to say.. if this is what it really was all over, it would be awesome but all I see is high traffic and that Houston sort of culture I didn't like crammed into a small space and people hurrying and driving like shit. No joke. And the fact it's a college town makes it like any other college town. I had to leave to go to an outside town to find a nice Italian buffet. A Greek one was shut down and a Cajun one was closed on the weekend. I didn't have many options to eat on a Saturday. Again just my experiences. I came from Lake Charles prior and racial tension did seem higher there, I don't get that vibe in Lafayette. Traffic in Lafayette though is horrendous. Judging by this video though and if you saw me, you'd think I was a native on appearance.

Très bien!!! Job well done. My family has been here for over a couple of hundred years and you got it right. Thank you for this great video...Geaux Cajuns!!!

so well done!! VHLM - let's get it tomorrow!

Everything I've ever tried to say about this team is wrapped up with a bow and a kiss. VHLM Siempre

The best fans in MLS and its not even close!

Would love to visit soon!

This video has had a profound effect on me. I'm definitely going to visit!

I’ve always wanted to visit Louisiana, nicely made documentary 👍

The shiny journey worryingly wrap because creature secondly remain onto a disastrous egypt. damp, frequent bee

Is lovely place

I love love my city, born and raised here! This documentary was poorly done! They speak about the modern times more than they do about the actual history of our home. There’s better documentaries about our home than this one

AND we don't take a back seat to the cuisine of New Orleans either. . .our gas stations have better food than the restaurants in Houston. True story.

We don't see "color" down here. . .live, laugh, and love all. Joie de vivre.

so many people in the oil and gas industry that might live here a few years while supporting their company's Gulf of Mexico (GOM) asset and then get transferred to their corporate office. . .Houston typically or other places. . .but when they retire, many of them return to Lafayette due to the absolute love they developed in the few years they worked and lived here.

First of all there is nothing wrong with PVC Pipe in south Louisiana. I just had a bunch of work done by CMC and that is what they used. Also these home inspections are done when selling your home per the buyers request. Once done it is a negotiating factor on the price.

Wonderful I’m so glad that he acknowledged that this country gave land GRANTS i.e. free LAND to EUROPEAN people while simultaneously upholding enslavement for NATIVE born African Americans. Thank you for pointing out the origination of the wealth gap. Beautiful video

USL, University of Slow Learners!

Hub to what exactly! Lol, get serious 🤣 Most people never heard of this little country town.

Growing up in New Orleans 14 years, then settling in Baton Rouge for another 25 I must say Lafayette is the only city in Louisiana where the government/media division tactics don't work. God Bless Lafayette and the people in it for sticking together and not falling for the race bait

That’s where my boyfriend lives

Why isn't Lafayette given a French pronunciation?

damnit my home

Great documentary 👏 However, it failed to mention the Lebanese influence which is important to the early economy of downtown.

Bien!😁👍
