Jeff Davis Parish
offers Interstate 10 travelers a unique opportunity. Headed east, a
first glimpse of the region known as Acadiana. Headed west, a last chance to explore and
experience the Cajun culture. Settled in the 1800s, Jennings, Lake Arthur, Welsh and Elton are
towns which reflect midwestern influence blended with the rich culture and traditions of
Southwest Louisiana's people and its diverse landscape. Stroll down brick sidewalks with
gaslights. See National Historic Register homes, Victorian architecture, unique museums, a
replica of the state's first oil well, scenic byways, Coushatta Indians, a wildlife refuge
and lake surrounded by 100-year-old mossdraped oaks. See live alligators (we'll even let you
hold one!) and Rambeaux, our 100-year-old, 100-pound turtle. Enjoy authentic Cajun gumbo,
jambalaya and boudin. No matter which direction you are heading, don't miss Jeff Davis Parish!
