LOUISIANA
Louisiana’s legal system, still based on Napoleonic Code rather than English common law, is a reminder of how distinct its colonial history is from the rest of the United States, shaped by French, Spanish, and African influences that produced a culture unlike anywhere else in the country. Its visitor draws range from the French Quarter and Garden District of New Orleans to the Atchafalaya Basin, the largest river swamp in the United States, and the antebellum plantation houses along the Great River Road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
