Houma Attractions
Houma, south-west of New Orleans, is a very good base from which to explore the adventurous, romantic landscape of the Mississippi Delta, either on the "Bayou Drive" (LA 56 and 57) or by boat. Various companies offer "swamp tours", including Annie Miller whose restaurant also serves delicious Cajun food.
Houma (pop. 32,000) was founded in 1810.
A narrated tour of Louisiana swamps feature alligators, nutria, possums, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, deer, bird rookeries of egrets, herons, cranes, french ducks, wood ducks, and many other species such as mocking birds, red birds, and blue jays.
