About Louisiana

Louisiana is located in southern United States in the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas. Baton Rouge may be the capital, but New Orleans is the largest as well as the more popular and cosmopolitan city in Louisiana. Geographically, Louisiana is made up of the Mississippi River flood plain and delta, and the low hills of the coastal plain of Gulf of Mexico. 

New Orleans is the most popular travel destination in Louisiana. The Audobon Park and Zoological Garden at New Orleans has more than 1,000 varieties of plants combined with 1,800 animals to replicate natural habitats found around the world. White tigers, buffalo, llamas, gorillas, tamarins, and the only white alligators known to be in existence in the world call the Audubon Zoo their home! Educational tools such as a computerized exhibit which explores evolution, a learning center with a laboratory, and the only library in the Deep South dedicated solely to wildlife science at the Audobon Zoo should excite children and adults alike while providing invaluable insight into certain disciplines of study. 

New Orleans has a French Quarter, and it's the heart of all activity. Restaurants and other attractions make nightlife here really active. The grandest of all parties, Mardi Gras takes place at New Orleans' French Quarter from mid-February to early March, culminating with "Fat Tuesday", the end of the festival and the beginning of Lent. Get drowned in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of New Orleans. And when you're at the New Orleans Vacation Homes, tour the rest of Louisiana.
