St. Mary Parish, Louisiana

About 90 miles west of New Orleans, St. Mary Parish sits along the central Gulf Coast of Louisiana. It’s a place where the bayous meet the sea, and where Cajun culture thrives.
U.S. Highway 90 cuts through, connecting you to Franklin, the parish seat. The parish is home to Morgan City, once dubbed the “jumbo shrimp capital of the world”.
But there’s more than just seafood. Sugar cane fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Old plantation homes still stand. And you still might spot an oil rig or two on the horizon.
