About Breaux Bridge, Louisiana

Breaux Bridge is just east of Lafayette on Interstate 10 with a population of approximately 8,000 and is the largest city in St. Martin Parish. Breaux Bridge restaurants were the first to offer crawfish openly on their menus, and it was here that the now world-famous crawfish etouffee was created.
