Ever visit CAJUN COUNTRY??

[southern yankee]

Another name for it would be Acadiana, I live between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. in a very small town of Butte La Rose. in the Atchafalaya Basin. (Ok Who will be the first to try to pronouce it.?) Now cajun is MUCH different then Creol. FOOD AND CULTURE. Come in the spring or fall. My sister in-law came the first of JULY. TOOOO HOT AND STICKY. Plus New Orleans isn't the only place to do Mardi Gras. Lafayette is fun and safer

When I was a kid we visited my Aunt who lived in Baton Rouge. I remember it being very beautiful, don't remember what time of year it was we loved it.

Is the Acadian or "Cajun" flag flown in Louisiana?

The Acadian flag was designed in 1886. It's often seen in New Brunswick and other parts of Eastern Canada that has a large Acadian population.

The "Cajun" flag was designed in 1965 to recognise the 200th anniversary of the expulsion of the Acadians to Louisiana.

The flag on the left is Acadian. The one on the right is the "Cajun" flag :

I notice a lot of the "Cajun flag "flying here in stead of the State Flag. I am from Indiana, But have lived here about 15 years. The people here are friendly and full of life. They sure like to Party. Sometimes, a little too much. But all in all. It is a nice place to live.But I will never get use to the SUMMER HEAT.

Which do you like more, cajun or creole?

I spent my childhood in northern Louisiana. It might as well have been a different country. We're called coonass up there.
