Elliott and Jerry (right side) at Pont Breaux's Cajun Restaurant in Breaux Bridge in southwestern Louisiana

The people at the table on the left side are from France and spoke only French. At one point the band leader spoke to them in French from the bandstand - seemed to make them feel at home.
Pont Breaux's Cajun Restaurant is well known for its Cajun food and live Cajun music and dancing.
Breaux Bridge is a small town of over 8,000 people and 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.
