Hi all,

Will be driving from Houston to New Orleans in the next few weeks. Just wondering if there is anything that we shouldn't miss along the way? Will be driving on a Sunday, so hoping the traffic won't be bad....

Thanks,

Laura

Yeah, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to bypass Beaumont and Orange - two rather dumpy towns in East Texas.

Unless you're detouring off I-10 to go into some of the River Road plantations en route to New Orleans, or have a specific desire to go to Baton Rouge, the drive is far more a means to an end than a meandering sightseeing route.

Thanks for your quick response!

Is Baton Rouge worth a detour? I love the name!

Find out about Cajuns, Cajun country, Cajun music, and Cajun Food. It would be a shame to come all the way from Dublin and miss Lafayette, Breaux Bridge and the other Cajun towns.

I'll look those up, thanks for the info!
