Things To Do
Jean Lafitte
“Jean Lafitte was named one of the Top 5 Small Towns in Louisiana So Dreamy, You’ll Swear You’ve Seen Them on TV. Just 25 minutes from New Orleans, this historic fishing village—named for the legendary pirate Jean Lafitte—offers serene waterways, fresh seafood, swamp tours, hiking trails, and rich coastal history near the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. Between pirate folklore, natural beauty, and small-town charm, it’s easy to see why Lafitte feels like a scene from a TV show.”
