Looking to do a quick get away for 2 and wanting to see if there are any suggestions towards Lafayette or lake Charles area. Live on the gulf coast and tired of lower Alabama and New Orleans isn't happening. Is there anything cool to the west of me.

Thanks

If you like music, try the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette...or the Rendez-Vous des Cajuns show at the Liberty Theatre in Eunice.

Lafayette:
-Stop at all times the places in Scott and compare boudin and Cracklin.
-Visit Acadiana village.
-Visit Bayou Teche brewery and/or Parish brewery.
-Get you a poboy at Old Tyme Grocery or Villagers Cafe Maurice.

I wouldn't do Lake Chuck unless you enjoy the casino. Laeberge and Golden Nugget are nice with some decent restaurants, bars, and pool.

If you just want to do tour some traditional LA stuff, stick to Acadiana. Avery Island, some good mom and pop lunch counters, and a live music venue
