Between the Vermilion River and River Ranch
Settled along the banks of the Vermilion River, Bois de Lafayette has the convenience of city living because of its proximity to other neighborhoods and amenities. “It’s conveniently located right next to River Ranch, which is a big commercial destination,” says Realtor Arla Slaughter from Latter & Blum and longtime Louisiana resident. “You can access all the high-end restaurants and shops in River Ranch without paying River Ranch prices.” In the neighborhood, residents have space to spread out and breathe in subdivisions and gated communities.
King cakes and po'boys
Bois de Lafayette’s active culinary scene celebrates Cajun cuisine and culture. Chris’ PoBoys has served the area since 1978 and brings the Louisianna sandwich to life with classic and specialty options. Ruffino’s On The River lives up to its name with a stellar view of the Vermilion. With fresh seafood and steak, Ruffino’s provides a higher-end dining option. Once a month, they offer 5-course dinners prepared in front of guests. Bois de Lafayette also boasts many bakeries that honor the French tradition. Lucia makes classic French pastries and cakes. Poupart Bakery specializes in traditional king and Mardi Gras cakes. Bois de Lafayette residents find fresh produce within the neighborhood at Fresh Pickin’s. This market connects shoppers with locally sourced and grown foods, from produce to seasonings, jelly and honey. Around 2 miles away is a Walmart Supercenter. River Ranch has a Fresh Market just 2 miles away. Just 3 miles away, locals can find a Costco and Target.

Lafayette's festival culture
Bois de Lafayette’s central location means it isn’t far from everything the parish has to offer. “We are known for our festivals,” Slaughter says. “Festival Internationale is the largest free music festival in North America.” This festival celebrates francophone music with local and international performances. The Festivals Acadiens et Creoles is a celebration of Cajun and Creole food, music and culture every year in Girard Park. In Moncus Park, the Lafayette Farmers and Artisan Market brings local vendors and residents together every Saturday morning. While it has produce and food, this market goes beyond traditional farmers' markets by offering crafts and gifts. River Ranch also hosts local events, like Rhythms on the River, a six-week outdoor concert series in the spring and fall on Thursday.
