  Franklin
 
 
Several miles south of Franklin is Susie Plantation--dating back from the Civil War and used as a hospital during that time.  The Susie is very haunted; it was empty when this photo was taken and remained for sale for the six years we lived in Morgan City.  Asking price:  only $127,000 with three acres of land!  

My favorite bayou:  Bayou Teche--seen here in Franklin.

Pierre Part
 
 

There are two kinds of Cajuns:  The prairie Cajuns, and the swamp Cajuns.  The Pierre Part area is the home of the swamp Cajuns.  In this photo is Bayou Corne not far from Pierre Part.

The two great bayous of the region which the Cajuns settled were Bayou Teche, and this bayou, Bayou Lafourche.  This photo was taken near Thibodaux.

 
 
 
 
 
Houma
 
Bayou Black narrows and gets smaller as it nears the city of Houma in Terrebonne Parish.

Catahoula
