About Lafayette
Lafayette is the heart of Louisiana's Cajun country, a city of live music, boiled crawfish, dance halls and oak-lined bayous.
Lafayette sits on the Vermilion River in the flat prairie and bayou country of south Louisiana, the centre of Acadiana, where descendants of French-speaking Acadians exiled from Canada settled in the eighteenth century. French is still spoken in homes and on local radio, and the city is home to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Live oaks line the streets, and the grounds of the Cathedral of St John the Evangelist hold an enormous oak said to be centuries old.
