Jefferson Parish, Louisiana

Jefferson Parish hugs the Mississippi River just west of New Orleans. It stretches from Lake Pontchartrain down to the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s a mix of suburban sprawl and bayou country. Metairie is the largest city and it’s where most folks live and work. You’ll find great Creole and Cajun food here. Think gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish étouffée.
The parish has seen its share of hurricanes, but people here are resilient. On weekends, locals often go to the Lakefront for fishing or just to catch a breeze.
