| | Home of New Orleans, the Big Easy, this region thrives on bon temps and Cajun spices. Begin your tour in the city, visiting Mardi Gras hot spots such as the French Quarter and historic Storyville. While you’re in the French Quarter, stop by the Jean Lafitte Historic Park headquarters. Then head to the bayou to look for alligators, armadillos, mink, and raptors at Bayou Segnette. Set your fishing rod for bass, perch, and trout, or visit historic sites such as Fort Pike and the Jean Lafitte Preserve. |
