Nestled in the middle of Cajun Country, Lafayette, Louisiana, is steeped in historical, cultural traditions. It is these traditions that are evident in daily life here in the southwestern part of Louisiana. The following are a few of the many things to do in Lafayette LA to immerse yourself in its unique culture. As a bonus, I’ve included an easy shrimp and crawfish etouffee recipe that you can make at home!
目錄
參觀埃弗里島（Avery Island）進行塔巴斯科州工廠之旅
這 塔巴斯科品牌工廠之旅 應該是您在拉斐特（Lafayette）要做的事情清單上的第一名。 TABASCO於1868年起源於路易斯安那州的艾利島，是許多調味品的首選。 McIlhenny家族在內戰之前就成立了這家公司。距拉斐特（Lafayette）45分鐘路程的艾利島（Avery Island）是一個鹽丘，最初被美洲原住民用作與美國東南部其他部落進行貿易的資源。
McIlhenny公司開始創建，加工和分銷由該島上種植的胡椒製成的調味醬。遊客可以參加TABASCO自助遊，並沉浸在島上的歷史以及調味品的種類及其生產中。除了TABASCO博物館外，這次旅行還將帶您到胡椒溫室，觀看胡椒從幼苗到完整植物生長的各個階段。
訪客參觀桶倉庫，並了解將胡椒與醋和鹽混合的28天陳化和搗碎過程。從那裡，客人可以了解該島作為鹽丘的歷史，並觀看鹽礦開采的西洋鏡，以體會到這一過程。最後，參觀TABASCO鄉村商店，結束醬油的盛宴，並於1868年停止用餐！品嚐TABASCO調味醬的餐廳。要獲得真正的特殊待遇，請參加烹飪演示，其中當然包括就在您面前製作的美味佳餚，在我們的示例中，是蝦和小龍蝦芝士。

路易斯安那州拉斐特的教育活動
對於一日游來說，Vermillionville是一個活著的歷史博物館，它生動活潑地生活在1700年代末至19世紀末之間的阿卡迪亞人，美洲原住民以及克里奧爾人和非洲人後裔的歷史。在這裡，客人可以探索日常生活的手工藝品和住所，並與服裝翻譯人員互動。
該景點佔地23英畝，沿巴約朱紅（Bayou Vermilion）分佈，有7座經過修復的房屋，被設置為一個阿卡迪亞村。在這裡，工匠們隨時為您提供示範，並回答遊客的問題。
附近， 阿卡迪亞文化中心 provides visitors with additional educational resources about the Acadians or Cajuns in the region. It also offers Native American and Creole history. Here guests can learn the Cajun origins and migration of people to the area. They’ll experience story-telling exhibits and seasonal music and dance programs. The cultural centre is part of the United States National Park Service and as such, provides countless educational opportunities.
到Atchafalaya盆地飛艇沼澤之旅進行戶外活動
對於那些想要在水上探險並探索獨特的荒野即bayou的人， 阿查法拉亞盆地飛艇沼澤之旅 takes you right into the heart of the swamp teeming with wildlife. Birdwatchers will delight in the opportunities to encounter hundreds of species of birds like egret and osprey. You’ll likely spot an alligator or two on this wild tour high above the bayou in a comfortable, shaded airboat with ideal viewing from each stadium seat. If you prefer flora and fauna over alligators, you’ll enjoy riding through the shady cypress forests amid the duckweed and cypress knees.
Enjoy the Live Music and a Zydeco Breakfast at Buck & Johnny’s
Buck & Johnny’s is a Lafayette-area restaurant that serves an eclectic mix of Cajun-Italian fusion dishes. The big Saturday morning draw here though is the Zydeco Breakfast. This popular weekly event has diners dancing up a storm to traditional, live Zydeco music while enjoying traditional cuisine.
世界聞名 Zydeco Breakfast at Buck & Johnny’s Cajun 提供布丁，小龍蝦和意式薄餅等菜餚。客人可以從獨特的菜單中進行選擇。菜單上的食物包括傳統的甜菜，餅乾和肉汁，Cajun Boudin早餐或Zydeco煎蛋捲。在Ti-Na-Na中可以看到Cajun-Italian融合； Cajun Boudin比薩餅，上面撒有紅醬，香腸和豬肉皮。
在Laura's II餐廳飽餐一頓靈魂美食
當我說被塞滿時，我指的是您的腹部和廚師麥當娜·布魯薩德（Madonna Brousard）傳說中的塞滿烤火雞翅的地方 Laura’s II Restaurant (also known as Laura’s II Next Generation). This mecca to Creole and Cajun cuisine should be at the top of your list of places to eat when in Lafayette if you don’t trust me, you can trust celebrities Anthony Bourdain, and Andrew Zimmern who have both filmed features here.
Open daily from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm this no-nonsense diner is one where I recommend that you do a bit of pre-planning first. It’s lunch only, and the menu changes daily so make sure you choose a day when they are serving your favourite side and plan to get there early because when they sell out of an item for the day – you are out of luck.
一盤午餐包括米飯，肉汁和兩面，再加上火雞翅，炸雞或炸豬排。配菜包括mac和奶酪，黑豌豆，秋葵，豬肉餡烤，炸cat魚和蜜餞等經典食品。
探索拉斐特地區的Boudin小徑
因為它是當地的特產香腸，所以必須做的是布丁。 Boudin香腸將豬肉末與大米和香料混合在一起。拉斐特地區的每個人都有自己獨特的方式來準備這種獨一無二的區域特色菜。這 Cajun Boudin小徑 帶遊客經歷一段難忘的旅程，探索多種準備和服務於布丁的方法。
There are several stops along the trail and choosing one stop (or a few) is just a matter of determining what type of boudin you crave. If you’re a fan of sausage, you’re bound to find something delicious to try. One of the most popular boudin spots is Billy’s Boudin & Cracklins 在該地區有幾個位置。
家庭經營， Johnson’s Boucaniere 位於洛杉磯拉斐特（Lafayette LA）。他們秘密的Boudin食譜可以追溯到1940年代，是當地人的最愛。
I highly recommend the Nenaine Special Breakfast sandwich from John’s Boucaniere served from 7 am to 10 am; it’s worth waking up early to try one (or two) of these.
Dubbed the “Godmother of Grilled Cheeses” it’s a boudin stuffed grilled cheese on a biscuit topped with in-house BBQ sauce. Ask for a fried egg on top if you wish.
10月，拉斐特（Lafayette）主持了Boudin Cookoff。一年一度的盛會是遊客在一個地方品嚐所有Boudin變種的絕佳方式。
拉斐特（LAfayette）的更多有趣景點和活動
歷史悠久的大教堂 聖約翰福音傳教士 值得一遊。參觀者可以漫步在地面和博物館中，並在精心設計的園景墓地中漫步。對於在乘船遊覽中可能沒有足夠觀鳥的博物學家來說，馬可·魯克里湖（Lake Martin Rookery）停靠在Breaux橋高速公路對面。 馬丁湖 與圖珀洛（Tupelo）和賽普拉斯（Cypress）交彙的地方是各種動物的家園，並且是各種鳥類的繁殖地。
最後， 朗費洛-伊万傑琳國家歷史遺址 is Louisiana’s oldest state park. The park honours the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadia. The story follows Evangeline and is set when the Acadians (Cajuns) were removed from Nova Scotia and ultimately moved to Louisiana.
