“My favorite activity in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou is spending time on the water. Whether it’s an airboat, swamp tour or fishing, nothing beats the natural beauty found throughout Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou in Lafourche Parish.”

Bree Plaisance, a lifelong resident of Lafourche Parish, joined the team in March of 2020 as the Office Manager and Administrative Assistant.

"Lafourche Parish has such diverse culture significant to the history of Louisiana. The people, food, and attractions found here you simply can't find anywhere else in the world. My favorite thing about the area has to be the food. Each dish has its own unique spices and flavoring, not to mention the abundance of fresh seafood. I will never eat the same way again after living in Lafourche Parish!"
Travel Counselor
Brenda is a resident of Bayou Blue, in Lafourche Parish and has been a member of the team since January 2019. She received her first job when she was younger because of the fact that she spoke Cajun French and could communicate with customers. She retired from the medical field after 32 years as a certified medical coder and billing representative. She attended coding and insurance seminars through the years to further her education. The most important lesson she learned through the years is that you need teamwork and a positive attitude to succeed in everyday life.
She loves talking to visitors to not only share our history of Lafourche Parish, but to also listen and enjoy their stories. She loves being with people and sharing her Cajun stories of her past with family and friends. She has two daughters with two grandchildren. Her family is the joy of her life. She loves spending time with them.
