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. Breaux Bridge became so well known for its crawfish farming and cooking that, in honor of its centennial celebration in 1959, the Louisiana legislature officially designated Breaux Bridge as “la capitale Mondiale de l’ecrevisse” or “the crawfish capital of the world.”
