Louisiana

Welcome to Louisiana, the state known for its lively jazz music, spicy Cajun cuisine, and unpredictable weather patterns.

The land of Louisiana was named after French King Louis XIV. Despite this royal lineage, Louisiana is better known for its eccentricities than its regality.

The state’s capital, Baton Rouge, is located on the Mississippi River, and boasts an impressive collection of corn dog stands and alligator farms.

The people of Louisiana, often referred to as “Louisianians,” are known for their boisterous personalities, where strangers soon become friends through shared experiences like getting lost in a swamp or attending a Mardi Gras parade.

Louisiana is also known for its humid climate and hurricane season, when residents stock up on crawfish and beer to ride out the storms. The state’s official flower is the magnolia, which perfectly captures the state’s love for big, bold, and beautiful things.

In addition to the aforementioned alligator farms, Louisiana is home to various culturally significant sites, such as the National World War II museum, and a sports culture that centers around the New Orleans Saints football team, which has led to many a tailgate party and a lot of gumbo.

So come on down to Louisiana, where the jazz is hot, the beer is cold, and the spirit of Southern hospitality is alive and well.
