Cajun Country or Acadiana, refers to a 22-parish region in South Louisiana officially recognized for its unique French Acadian heritage. Historically, it is the homeland of the Cajuns, descendants of French-speaking Acadian exiles who were expelled from Canada (present-day Nova Scotia) by the British in 1755 and resettled in Louisiana.
The city of Lafayette is known as the “Heart of Acadiana”. The region is characterized by diverse wetlands including the Atchafalaya Basin (the largest river swamp in the U.S.), bayous, marshes, and prairies.
Known for “country-style” rustic cooking using local ingredients like crawfish, shrimp, and andouille. Iconic dishes include gumbo, jambalaya, and boudin.
