Louisiana

Louisiana’s marshy Mississippi Valley is one of the most attractive areas of the USA. New Orleans, its largest city, is one of the country’s major tourist destinations. It is famed for Dixieland jazz, architecture, superb cuisine and its unique French Quarter. The city also boasts a wide choice of museums and galleries. Other places to see in the state include Lafayette, a city of magnificent gardens and the start of the 40 km (25 mile) Azalea Trail; the Atchafalaya Basin, the largest and most remote swamp in the USA; the huge salt domes of Avery; and Alexandria,

surrounded by forests and parks. The 138 m- (452 ft-) high marble and limestone Capitol Building is situated in Baton Rouge. Louisiana was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but most of the tourism attractions and infrastructure have been repaired and are open to visitors. Many areas of New Orleans are still totally devastated, but on the whole the city is recovering and tourism is booming once again. Notable Attractions • D-Day National WWII Museum

• Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

• The French Quarter

• Rural Life Museum

• Old State Capitol

• Nautical Center in Baton Rouge

• Louisiana Art and Science Museum

• Preservation Hall

• Besthoff Sculpture Garden

...And Much More!
