There are two things that you will
find quite plentiful in Louisiana. The first are mosquitos and the second, and
much more desirable, are bed and breakfasts. These historic homes are scattered
all over the state and each have their own unique history, giving you the
opportunity to spend the night in an accurately depicted historic home while
normally waking up to a pretty darn good Cajun breakfast! Nothing better on earth
than waking up to boudin, andouille, biscuits and a mimosa. An added bonus is that many of these homes come with their
fair share of haunted tales. There is one particular bed and breakfast in the
heart of Acadiana that is well known for having plenty of both!
T'Frere's Bed and Breakfast is a
traditional Acadian-style home in Lafayette. Built sometime in the 1880's,
T'Frere's is known for its beautiful décor and large closed in side porch which
is ideal for entertaining; and entertaining is something this home knows how to
do! From the time guests arrive, they are greeted with pure southern
hospitality and plenty of good food! The evening time consists of mint juleps
and finger foods while the morning time brings a breakfast comparable to a
five-star restaurant. The breakfast is truly to die for, no pun intended!

Ok guys, let's face it, what could
be more appealing than a haunted women’s' college dormitory? Well, perhaps a
haunted strip club, but don't you worry, we will get to that as well in due
time! Do you actually think that haunted tales would only reside in grand
plantation homes and other stereotypical locations? Think again, as this is Louisiana
and everyone knows that here, looks can be deceiving!
Founded in 1898, the University of
Louisiana at Lafayette is the second largest university in Louisiana. Formerly
known as USL, ULL is one of the greatest schools in the state in regards to
academics, sports, and yes, beautiful women! I apologize if I offend anyone,
but ULL has always been known for their hard-partying students and beautiful women!
Not sure if it is something in the water or steroids in the chicken but I can
assure you that I am not the only guy out there that can attest to this! Regardless,
beyond the outspoken and lively personalities known as the UL Rajun Cajuns,
there lie several dark and ominous stories that make for great catalysts to haunted
legends.

One of the things I love most about
Louisiana is that no matter what nook of the state you are in, just when you
think you are in the most secluded area possible, there is a good restaurant
probably with a couple of miles from you. Let’s face it, we Louisianans love to
eat! Sure, we may not all be blessed with the physique of Adonis due to this
but the food is just too damn good to pass up! In the heart of Acadiana, lies
the city of Lafayette, an area still heavily enriched with Cajun culture. Where
many of the old timers still speak French on a daily basis, Lafayette is one of
the last places in the state to experience this dying culture.
Here in Lafayette, you will find a
great restaurant with quite an interesting history. Café Vermillionville sits
only several hundred yards from the banks of Coulee des Poches, which served as
a major waterway for local Indians of the Atakapa tribe. As this method of
transportation grew more and more viable, the local area began to grow with
small businesses such as mills, saloons, and inns.
