Cajun Country

If anything positive comes from tragedy, it's the clarity it brings. It gives one the ability to see what's really important in life-and to celebrate it. Family. Friends. A beautiful day. This is what it's all about. Perhaps the unique "joie de vivre" attitude of Louisiana's Cajun people is a result of years of suffering.

Persecuted for their Catholic religion, the Cajuns were first driven out of France and then from Canada before settling in Louisiana. Perhaps it was this struggle that allowed them to turn soup into gumbo, the washboard into a musical instrument, and the swamps of Louisiana into a paradise.

Charming. Humble. Funny. Loving. These are adjectives often used to describe Cajuns. Whether they are Ivy League-educated lawyers or bayou-schooled swamp tour operators, they tend to eat more, dance more and laugh more than the rest of the world. Come discover their secrets this year in Cajun Country. And while it's true that you can get a taste of the Cajun lifestyle in New Orleans, why not venture an hour or so farther and experience the real thing in a big way? The big old bullfrogs in the swamps of Acadiana are calling your name, cher. It would be rude not to answer.
