Culture and heritage
Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum
To Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, the life of fishermen, shrimp harvesters, trappers and inhabitants of Bayou takes shape through models, tools and stories of everyday life. The visit illuminates the direct link between water, work and families of Houma, in an area where the marshes also change with coastal erosion.
Culture and heritage
Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center
The Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center in Thibodaux is interested in Cajun communities and the humid landscapes of southern Louisian. Exhibitions, films and sometimes musical or artisanal demonstrations tell the Acadian exile, the local French language, bayous and water-related trades without reducing the region to a folk décor.
Nature and panorama
Laurel Valley Village
Laurel Valley Village preserves the traces of an old sugar plantation near Thibodaux, with workers' houses, agricultural buildings and cane-related equipment. The site speaks of the rural landscape as well as the work that has shaped it, in a silent atmosphere where wood structures tell more than panels.
Nature and landscape
Bayou Lafourche
Bayou Lafourche accompanies villages, low bridges, churches and houses aligned like a water street crossing the Cajun country. An ancient Mississippi arm, it gives the journey between Thibodaux, Lockport or Golden Meadow a very special continuity, made of docks, work boats and gardens facing the shore.
