Welcome to St. Landry Parish, where accordions are cool, boudin is hot and history is not just in textbooks. Our festivals celebrate art, Cajun music, catfish, cracklins, etouffee, herbs, spices, yams and zydeco. Roam through the parish on the Zydeco Cajun Prairie Byway and visit our five cultural districts who offer original works of art tax free. Local artists regularly open their working studio doors in addition to their galleries. For a more hands on experience, choose an outdoor adventure o fhiking, archery, fishing, hunting, bird watching, camping, paddling or cycling. And to do all this one needs to tank up on the flavorful Cajun and Creole cuisine found in colorful restaurants, diners, grocery store delis or the grab-and-go plate lunch stops. Our warm and welcoming people are ready to make visitors feel right at home and may greet you with a friendly “Comment ca va?” or how are you? You can respond “toujours bon” because life is always good in St. Landry Parish. Come visit.
