French Louisiana Fare

Savor the charming cultural spice of Lafayette and New Iberia.

Sunday
On this day, a reverent wind blows through the area. Families attend mass, businesses close, and kitchen stoves brim with hot pots of gumbo. Savor your last moments here by visiting the Konriko Company Store and mill in New Iberia. The store features Konriko products and Cajun foods. Aged and worn, America's oldest rice mill still produces a high-quality product.
