"Jean Lafitte's six sites are scattered across south Louisiana. Each is unique in its focus, and they all reflect a place where traditions can be generations old but the ground under your feet can change with the weather." At the French Quarter Visitors Center, you can some of the forces that shaped New Orleans. If you're interested in the War of 1812, then go see the Chalmette Battlefield and Cemetery. How about a hike in nature? Then, cross the river to go hiking in the 23,000-acre Louisiana wetlands of the Barataria Preserve. You might be lucky & see praying mantises, banana spiders, nutria, rabbits, alligators, snakes and more! Or simply rest on a bench and listen to the bird calls.
