This small town of over 8,000 people is a gateway to Cajun culture in southern Louisiana. About 28% of the families speak French at home and about 2% speak Louisiana Creole French at home. Breaux Bridge was officially designated, "La capitale Mondiale de l'ecrevisse" ("The Crawfish Capital of the World") by the Louisiana Legislature in 1959.
There are constant local campaigns to raise money to paint this bridge.
