Lafourche Parish was built by Acadians who were bold enough to settle there and make Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou their home. Since then, the Parish has embraced a Geaux Bold way of life. Classic Cajun restaurants where generational recipes have been carried into modern life? Geaux Bold. A trip on the water to spot a gator shortly after eating its cousin? Geaux Bold. A dance your feet can’t quite keep up with, but your hips say otherwise? You guessed it… Geaux Bold.
It’s more than a motto, it’s a mentality—brewed into the flavors, rooted into traditions, and alive in the area’s adventures. Whether it’s art, history, a swamp tour, all-day fishing, a trail of dining experiences, or any of the ‘round-the-clock festivals we put on all year long—the Bayou brings it all. Bayou Lafourche is the best kept secret in the south, located just 35 miles south of New Orleans. Even if it’s just one of them spur-of-the-moment weekends, the bayou’s ready when you are. So, call it what you want, it’s as real as it gets, and come discover what makes this place special.
Come down in the fall when the cypress turns gold, trade them winter blues for warm bayou views, and springtime’s all about Mardi Gras parades and beads flying high. And summer? That’s for catching rays on an offshore fishing trip, dancing to live music, and soaking up that Cajun vibe. Down in Lafourche Parish, any season’s the right season. This place is made for everybody, so get ready to turn up the flavor, crank the music, and dive headfirst into a destination that doesn’t hold back, and dares you to Geaux Bold.
