Lafayette is the largest city in Acadiana, the region of south Louisiana where Cajun and Creole culture is still spoken, cooked and danced. It is also the business center of the state’s onshore and offshore oil and gas service industry, with companies that support drilling and production throughout the Gulf. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette, home of the Ragin’ Cajuns, and two large hospital systems round out the economy. Food here is serious business, from boudin and cracklins at roadside markets to crawfish boils in spring.
Lafayette Regional Airport sits just southeast of downtown, close to offices and the university, but airline connections often route through Houston or Dallas. Flying private gives oil and gas executives and engineers a direct way to reach Lafayette and to visit field offices along the coast, and it makes for easy weekend getaways for festivals and food. Visitors come to dance to zydeco and Cajun music, tour swamps on Lake Martin and the Atchafalaya Basin and visit Avery Island, home of Tabasco.
