Travel Spotlight — Louisiana
Louisiana
has long been loved for it's fierce embrace of music, fine food and the misty
yet ever present past. Take a moment to be inspired and join us in exploring
this beautiful place: from the pine forests of northern Louisiana, to the gator
infested swamps, to the crown jewel that is New Orleans.
Situated in the Deep South, Louisiana, the "Pelican State," has a colorful history and was named in honor of King Louis XIV. A strong French influence is still evident throughout the state — its capital city is named Baton Rouge, French for "red stick," because the French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville visited the area in 1699 and observed a red cypress post. Today the city of New Orleans is known for its Mardi Gras and jazz festivals.
