Subject: Cajun homesteads



A national house and lifestyle magazine that I write for frequently is

looking for a Cajun or Creole homestead in rural Louisiana to feature in an

ongoing series of articles devoted to "Our Country Heritage."



The article would be about the house, the family who lives there, and the

connection of the house and its occupants to a regional or ethnic

lifestyle.



The house should be old; the older the better. The editor would prefer a

house that has been in the same family for several generations. It can be

in need of repair, but it should in some way typify a regional or ethnic

lifestyle.



Ideally, it would be near some body of water, forest, or other natural

feature associated with the family's lifestyle.



I know there are subscribers on this list who are knowledgeable about Cajun

life. Do any of you know of such a place?
