BR has always been kind of a mixed bag. I think there are a lot of French catholics here though. I'm not one of them though.
225 area code is not French Louisiana. Its pretty much Mississippi.

Are there really still people in Louisiana who speak French as their primary language?

St. Tammany? 
I think a lot more krauts settled here than frogs.

French Louisiana
Know what you are talking about, that is absolutely correct. it does not say Acadian Louisiana, it says French. My wifes French ancestors came down from Canada in 1600's and mine came over from Mobile/Dauphin Island in 1711. One son (Baham) later founded Madisonville.

We talking French Acaidans or Frog eating French? St. Amant and that little area near Gonzales was inhabited by actual French people, among some other areas in that part of La, I wonder if they had ancient beef with the Canadian frenchies back in the day.

I love when people use that term up north or out west and it becomes an outrage when they have no idea what it means.

Define primary language. My grandpa who passed away last year would speak to all of his friends in French, but would speak to us in English. He probably spoke about 50/50 French/English.

BR is the Atlanta of Acadiana. May have some Cajun families that have been here for over 100-150 years, but they moved here from Acadiana.

I'm guessing it's always been a melting pot due to it being a big college town and the state capital. I've lived the majority of my life here but my mother is from the Midwest and my dad's family is originally from Mississippi.

Then like everything else French, the Germans took over. Koepp, Stanga, Dutch, Godschalk, Gitz, Ouilliber, etc.

My great grandparents moved here from Mississippi in the 20's so that my great grandfather could go work at Standard Oil.
Mine did the exact opposite around that time. Great grandfather ran seafood factories, so they uprooted to the MS Gulf Coast. Sold the land to Standard Oil. Only problem was that there were so many heirs that the royalty checks were like $14 per person per year.
