You'd have get really far off the beaten path to find a place in the state where French is the primary language. So, don't break out those Berlitz tapes just yet.

All you'll need to know how to say is "Laissez le bon temps roulez!"
My family is still in Baton Rouge, and its population has grown tremendously in the year since Katrina. The good part is that New Orleans restaurants and businesses (Galatoires! Mignon Faget!) are opening in town. The bad news is that traffic is worse than ever, and rent and home prices have been driven up due to high demand. It's near and dear to my heart for the food, the shopping, and LSU football. But it might be a difficult place to move due to the increased cost and congestion.
