Brand Promise
Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou, Lafourche Parish is just south of New Orleans, for adventurers seeking distinct authentic experiences and culture of the wetlands. It’s where a deep Cajun lifestyle is inspired, nurtured, and defined by the Bayou; so experiences are more personal and full of flavor.

Each member is appointed by one of nine entities within Lafourche Parish and are elected to a three-year term on the board.
