If you think Breaux Bridge is a great place to visit, you should try living here. We've got a wonderful climate, beautiful scenery and a lifestyle that's much more relaxed than the typical city.

We've also got neighbors who won't hesitate to tell you hello. You've heard of southern hospitality. Breaux Bridge has the Cajun version-friendliness that you've got to experience to believe. An added bonus is the wealth of Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes you'll learn, not to mention the fact that you could have a real Boudreaux or Thibodeaux for a next door neighbor. Just don't expect them to be as naive as the characters in the jokes. Beneath the Cajun accent most often lies wisdom.

Breaux Bridge's phone book is one of the few in the country that still lists nicknames as well as birthnames. Nowhere else can you find names like "T-Jun", "Tootsie", "Peewee" or "Coot".

The charm of Breaux Bridge goes far beyond tourism. It's a great place to live. Have a look at some of Breaux Bridge's newcomer information.
