Louisiana
Louisiana
Louisiana has one of the most colourful histories of any USA state and also of many countries. Louisiana is an exotic mix of nations and cultures which has kept the best from its history and now offers a holiday experience that will create memories that will remain with you for many years to come.
Throughout the year, festivals and fairs take place all over Louisiana and there is something for everyone. Louisiana cuisine is an exquisite fusion of tastes from a diverse list of cultures – French, African, Spanish and Acadian – and whether eating a Po Boy sandwich in a café or a 5-course meal in a world renowned restaurant, your taste buds will be tantalised! The very first cocktail was created in New Orleans, which is reflective of the care free, fun, party attitude. Sample a ‘Hurricane’ cocktail at one of our many 24-hours-a-day bars!
Take a drive through Southwest Louisiana, along the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road - teeming with wildlife, including alligators, birds and three wildlife refuges! Stroll through historic downtown districts, with beautifully restored architecture or step back in time at an antebellum plantation home. Marvel at Mardi Gras traditions, costumes and memorabilia at one of the many museums throughout Louisiana, or learn more about the state’s Civil War history at one of the battle sites or museums.
