DAY 1: Cajun Bayou, a magical place deep in the Louisiana Bayous where life moves slowly and quietly, is our final destination. This morning we will leave Tennessee and travel south to our overnight stop in Meridian, MS.
DAY 2: It's only a short drive this morning to the historic town of Vicksburg, MS. During the Civil War, this city was held under siege as Union troops attempted to starve out the last Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi. Today, this peaceful river town still has an antebellum atmosphere. We will get a sample of this Old South grace and charm, as a costumed guide takes us on a tour of Cedar Grove, a grand, old plantation home, which overlooks the lazily winding river.
This afternoon, we will continue to our overnight destination, Natchez, MS. Here we will be joined by a guide for an enlightening tour of this beautiful antebellum town.
DAY 3: Today we will continue south through Baton Rouge and Lafayette to Vermillion Village. This is a charming re-creation of an old-time Cajun village. We will see Cajun craft people at work and get a sample of their music and culture. Next, we're on to the town of Chauvin, deep in the heart of Cajun country. An authentic Cajun feast will be served by a native family, who might even sing us a few Cajun songs. Our hotel awaits us in Houma this evening.(D)
DAY 4: Think you've seen true Cajuns? Wait until we take a guided boat journey into the heart of the bayous. We might even see alligators and other native wildlife up close and personal. This is not for the weakhearted. After our breathtaking tour, we will continue to New Orleans, the city that never sleeps. A local guide joins us this afternoon for a tour of this city created by the union of Cajuns, Creoles and the French. Following the tour, we will check into our hotel.
DAY 5: Hope you got some sleep last night, because today we will enjoy a cruise on an authentic steamboat down the Mississippi. The afternoon belongs to you to take a stroll along the Riverwalk or dine in a romantic cafe in the French Quarter. We will stay again in New Orleans tonight.
DAY 6: This morning we are on the road again. We will travel along the sugar-white shores of the Gulf of Mexico to Alabama our overnight stay.
DAY 7: We've had a magnificent journey deep into the seldom seen Cajun Bayou country. This was surely a most memorable tour, Cajun style!
