Live Cams in Louisiana
Louisiana, United States (USA)
The U.S. state of Louisiana is situated in the south part of the country, on the Gulf of Mexico, bordering the states of Arkansas (north), Mississippi (east) and Texas (west). Influences of different cultures especially the French Acadians, African and Native American shaped the culture of Louisiana, famous for the music and the food. The largest city in Louisiana, New Orleans, is considered to be the birthplace of jazz music, so jazz houses in this city are recommended and so are the music festivals, for example, the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. In the state capital, the lively city of Baton Rouge, situated on the east bank of the Mississippi River, you will find historic sites, culture and excellent restaurants especially in the downtown area.
