Des Allemands, LA

Des Allemands is a quiet bayou community in southeastern Louisiana, split right down the middle by Bayou des Allemands between St. Charles and Lafourche parishes. Known locally as the Catfish Capital of the World, the town revolves around life on the water, with easy boat access and a popular annual catfish festival that brings the community together. U.S. 90 runs straight through town, giving residents a peaceful, small-town setting with a straightforward commute into New Orleans. It is a relaxed, tight-knit spot with deep German and Cajun roots, fantastic fishing, and plenty of Cajun country charm.
