I lucked out when my son went to Lafayette for college on baseball & academic scholarships. Clean, fun town with the nicest people I've ever met. We made lifetime of memories & friendships. Their restaurants in the area will beat most in the New Orleans area. So many hidden gems. High Five for finding a precious gem of a town, and I'm a Texan!
That was an awesome swamp tour. That alligator was ready to protect its nest. You found a great place to eat too. Looks like you guys are on a great trip something similar to what I did in April but I used Amtrak.
We used Lafayette as a stopping point between Fl and Tx. It was such a nice place! We enjoyed it a lot. The food was amazing! We really enjoyed Cajun food. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
What a fun and interesting trip. Really wanna do the swamp tour. Liked the history and the food looked amazing! Stoked you guys are having a great time! Can’t wait for the next one! Good vibes!
Like 10 👍 Greetings from Naples, Florida. Some neat places, indeed. I can relate to the swamp as I lived in Alexandria, LA for a few years and would canoe around swamps like that. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend. 💯
We loved Lafayette! I think we drove through Alexandria on the way home. The swamp tour was so fun! It is so beautiful out there on the boat. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Thanks for watching! We had a lot of fun here. The people are so friendly. The food is amazing. We tried our best to show things there and pronounce some of the words. They are fun to say like Etouffee. 🙂
We went with Borels swamp tour. He was amazing because he grew up on Lake Martin. Here is his info. Borel's Swamp Tour: borelsswamptours.com/ (337-884-3683). Have a great time! We loved that area! The Cajun food is awesome! Bon Temp bar and grill was a lot of fun!
You did great a great job at hitting some of the highlights of my part of the world. As you said, 1 day is not even close to seeing everything in the heart of Cajun country. Tabasco factory in Avery Island, Shadows on the Teche in New Iberia, Acadiana Village, Downtown Lafayette, so, so much more. And you just had a literal taste of our food. So glad that you enjoyed our little corner of the world. Come back soon y'all!
We are in love with Louisiana! The people were so friendly and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back to see some more! Thanks for watching! 🙂
go back without the kids, stay downtown at Juliet or Blue Moon and take in the downtown area and check out some of the music venues, take the short drive over to Avery Island and tour the gardens and the Tabasco plant, walk the UL campus and visit Cypress Lake in the middle of campus. There are to many things to do in Lafayette to only stay for a day
We would love to visit Louisiana again! We loved it! Thank you for all the suggestions! Lafayette was a lot of fun, and yes, you need more than a day and 2 nights to explore. 🙂
Borel's tour was a very local tour. The guy who took us out grew up on the lake. He was funny and very personal. It was an incredible experience. A swamp tour should definitely be on your list if you are visiting Lafayette! I am glad you have had such a positive experience with your swamp tour! We will have to check them out if we go back to Lafayette. 🙂
There is so much to see. We only had a day. Give Cajun food a try. It is so good. Everyone told us to check out the Tabasco factory. The locals are very friendly and will give you more suggestions. Have fun on your trip, and thanks for watching! 🙂
We had a lot of fun on the swamp tour. Borel's tour was really good. He knew everything about the swamp, and he was funny. We did not know that was what an alligator's nest looked like until he showed us. Thanks for watching! 🙂
We drove just 20 minutes to Lake Martin in neighboring Breaux Bridge. It is so close and something we were told to do in Lafayette. Also, according to Google, "Breaux Bridge, just a few minutes northeast of Lafayette, is counted within the larger Lafayette Metropolitan statistical area." So it is a smaller area counted into a bigger city. 🙂

There is no swamp and alligators in Lafayette Louisiana
