Lafitte, Louisiana, is about 30 minutes south of New Orleans.
It's in the heart of the Barataria Basin, where the dark bayou waters hide silent alligators alongside the secrets of notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. Remnants of the past are still present in this historic fishing village and the trails and waterways traversing the area. And it has some of the country's most amazing cuisine!
