Welcome to Beaux Bridge.TV - A Visitor's Vacation Guide to the Crawfish Capital of the World, Beaux Bridge, Louisiana - Accommodations, Restaurants, Vacation Rentals, Recreation, Attractions and MoreBreaux Bridge, Louisiana was founded in 1771 by Firmin Breaux. He built a bridge over Bayou Teche so that he could get back and forth easily. When travelers were given directions they were told to "go to Breaux's bridge...", which eventually was adopted as the city's name. Located in St. Martin Parish in Louisiana, the estimated population in 2003 was 7,505.
In 1959, the Louisiana legislature officially designated Breaux Bridge as "la capitale Mondiale de l'ecrevisse" or "the Crawfish Capital of the world". The annual Crawfish Festival draws hundreds of people for crawfish eating contests, Zydeco music, Cajun dancing, a parade, cooking demonstrations, cook off, and just an all around great time. In addition to the Crawfish Festival there are swamp tours, a go-cart race track, and an annual Cajun and Creole Food and Cycling Festival. There are numerous bed and breakfast places to stay, restaurants, antique, clothing, art galleries, gift and specialty shops. Our pages will show you some of the sites to give you an excellent starting point for your trip. So, grab some friends and go to Breaux Bridge, Acadian-style. Laissez le bon temps rouler!
