About Lafayette

Lafayette anchors Louisiana's Cajun Country, sitting where I-10 crosses the heart of Acadiana about 130 miles west of New Orleans. Major routes include I-49 north to Shreveport, US 90 through historic Cajun towns, and local arteries like Evangeline Thruway and Ambassador Caffery Parkway. The Acadian Village features authentic 1800s homes where interpreters still demonstrate weaving Spanish moss into mattresses.
