Louisiana is a southeastern U.S. state on the Gulf of Mexico. Its history as a melting pot of French, African,
American and French-Canadian cultures is reflected in its Creole and Cajun cultures.
Famous for lively and colourful Mardi Gras celebrations that are full of soul, jazz music, distinctive foods and flavours, and for its many festivals all throughout the year,
Louisiana is also home to the world’s longest water-spanning bridge and the USA’s tallest state capitol.
Unfortunately, the weather in Louisiana is unpredictable, to say the least. Plan to experience all four seasons in just a few days!
Temperatures can vary wildly and while one day may be perfect beach weather, the following day could be wet and windy or shiver-inducing cold.
The laid-back lifestyle and rich diversity of the state make Louisiana a great place to live.
Louisiana is filled with some of the most amazing small towns and bigger cities in the country. It can be difficult to know exactly where it’s best to settle down.
But for those who have spent significant amounts of time in the city, there are certainly some places that stand out among the crowd.

Here are the 10 best places to live in Louisiana for 2018:
1. Lafayette.
2. Baton Rouge.
3. New Orleans.
4. Alexandria.
5. Mandeville.
6. Scott.
7. Bossier City.
8. Youngsville.
9. Inniswold.
