LAFAYETTE is the geographic and cultural center of French-speaking Louisiana, and the jumping-off point for exploring the roots of the state

Thanks for posting Breaux. That's great for Lafayette and the Cajunland area get national recognition. From the prairies to the swamp to the coast, it's all good. There is no other place like it. 1,500 hotel rooms added in the last four years is great.

That's excellent, considering they have no casinos to contribute to their growth or to the construction of the hotels. That just shows that Lafayette is bringin it.
