Louisiana off the Beaten Path, 6th: A Guide to Unique Places

Rating:
Summary: Helpful Book For Travelers
Review: This is a great book to get if you aren't very familiar with the state of Louisiana. Being a native, I picked this book up hoping to find something that I might have missed in my neck of the woods. The book breaks down the state into distinctive regions(much like the guide from the Louisiana Tourism Bureau) and picks out some fairly unique spots to check out.

My suggestion is that you use this book to make your way to the smaller towns in Louisiana, such as DeQuincy, Ville Platte, Mamou, Oberlin, etc. Then, find a local dive and ask someone there where the really good stuff is.

This book gets you to some great places, but you have to talk with the locals to find out the best places for anything in the Louisiana, 'cause we keep the best things to ourselves. They're our little secrets.
