What
and Where in Louisiana...

In general
there are 2 different regions:
the Cajun Prairie: the triangle Lake Charles - Eunice - Lafayette, with
vast meadows and flown fields (for rice and crawfish),
(swamp &
crawfish)
and the Cajun Wetlands:
between Lafayette,
Baton Rouge en Houma in the south: swamp area, partially
"polders" with dikes (levee's), surrounded by vast swamps around
the bayou's (rivers and creeks), belonging to the Atchafalaya basin ( =
river with delta)

For Cajun fans there
are several places with interesting stuff :
Mamou :
with the famous
"Fred's Lounge", the souvereign of tante Sue ,
continuously conversating with the customers, alcoholics promoting by swaying
her own bottle in the air! Every saturday morning live music,
directly broadcasted on Radio KBon, by Paul Marx.
