Cajun culture is largely French-influenced, seasoned with Spanish, African and Native American traditions. The area around Lafayette was inhabited initially by Attakapas Indians, followed by the Opelousas, Alabamons and Chocktaws until the mid-1700’s, when French Canadians expelled from Canada in "Le Grand Derangement” for refusing to give their allegiance to the British, came to settle there. Today, a visit to Lafayette and the sights, sounds and tastes of surrounding Acadiana, where the cultural ethic is to play hard as well as work hard, will take you away from the cares you left behind and help rekindle true joy in living. Lafayette offers the business traveler an excellent choice of top rated hotels and convention facilities, as well as smaller country lodges and bed and breakfast inns for those seeking a fuller encounter with authentic Cajun culture.
