If you want to become familiar with some of the intricacies of the cultures that compose South Louisiana, this is the ideal tour for learning all there is to know about the Creole and Cajun people. Begin your trip with a visit to an ancient French Colonial style house, the oldest documented one of its type in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Continue then by stopping by and wandering through the enlightening halls of the 1811 Slave Revolt Museum. This is the best site for understanding better what went on during the infamous sugar dynasty known as the Destrehan family.

And still the trip is far from over. After seeing their plantation, your next stop is the privately owned wildlife refuge of the Manchac Swamp. Here you will become acquainted with some of the region's most renowned legends, such as that of Rougarou, the famous Cajun werewolf. Lastly, head over to the town of Frenier, where you can see the contested boundary between the lands that used to belong to Great Britain and Spain in the 18th century.
