Lafayette

Lafayette occupies a low-lying stretch along the Vermilion River in south-central Louisiana, at the core of the region known as Acadiana. The city is a leading centre of Cajun and Creole Louisiana, where French-rooted traditions remain present in music, cooking and festivals. Downtown includes the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, while Vermilionville interprets the lives of Acadian, Creole and Native American communities through historic buildings and craft demonstrations. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette gives this regional hub a strong academic presence. See how Lafayette connects with Acadiana and southern Louisiana by browsing nearby webcams.
