Evangeline Parish, Louisiana

Evangeline Parish sits in the heart of Cajun Country, smack dab in central Louisiana. It’s a place where crawfish boils and zydeco music are practically religion.
The parish got its name from Longfellow’s epic poem about the Acadians… and boy, does it live up to that romantic heritage.
You’ll find oak-lined bayous, sprawling prairies, and more than a few alligators lurking in the swamps. Folks here are proud of their French roots. They’re also pretty serious about their boudin.
