Louisiana, in the southern United States, is an electric cultural explosion. Swamps, French Colonial architecture, charming towns and historic plantations are found within Louisiana's borders. New Orleans is the most visited destination in the state, and it is certainly a worthy destination. It is truly unlike any other place in the United States. Located in southeastern Louisiana, the city is widely known for its annual Mardi Gras celebration. The French Quarter is the most visited part of the city: it is home to Jackson Square, a pedestrian area dominated by the spires of the historic St. Louis Cathedral. The French Quarter is also home to the famous Bourbon Street, where live music and cold drinks are inviting from morning to night. It's also where you can dine on beignets and chicory coffee at the incomparable Café du Monde. Myrtles Plantation is arguably one of the most iconic places in Louisiana. It is known as one of the most haunted houses in the United States and haunts include a ghost of a slave girl named Chloe, as well as cool areas. Much of Louisiana is composed of wetlands. These areas flood with the seasons and are generally uninhabited, but are home to a plethora of wildlife. Swamp tours are advertised throughout the state, and are an incredible opportunity to see a completely different side of Louisiana. The city of Lafayette is in the heart of the country, making it a destination you won't want to miss. Head to Jefferson Street in downtown Lafayette, and there's no shortage of nightlife spots where you can drink, dance and dine the night away. Dive headfirst into the culture with a trip to the Acadian Cultural Center. The city of Grand Isle is just 100 miles south of New Orleans, but it has a distinctly different atmosphere. Despite being hit by hurricanes and disasters like the Gulf oil spill, this beach town retains its charm and character. Grand Isle State Park overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, and swimming, canoeing and fishing are all popular pastimes. In summer, fishing rodeos bring the local community together and provide fresh fish for regional restaurants.
