For travelers New Orleans is the first thing on the Cajun menu. This city is pretty different from any other in the US and is vibrant with life. The old French Quarter of the city is one of the most attractive places in the whole of the country. Lafayette and Lake Charles offer more attractions from the time of the Acadians.
The whole of the state is dotted with mansions dating back to the 19-th century or even further. Plantation Country - with Baton Rouge as its most important city - is packed with them. Just minutes from the New Orleans airport, you'll find Destrehan Plantation, built in 1787. Nearby is Ormond Plantation, the oldest French West Indies style Creole plantation on the river. Further upriver, the snow white ballroom at Nottoway, the South's largest plantation home, will take your breath away and there is a lot more...
