If we could plan the perfect Louisiana day, it would be spent in Ville Platte. Home to both Chicot State Park and the Louisiana Arboretum, this rural city is quite a hidden gem. Picture it: you spend the morning at Chicot State Park walking the trails or renting a canoe and paddling around the lake, then in the afternoon a leisurely stroll through the Arboretum, taking in all the lush greenery. Of course, at some point, you’re bound to be hungry, and that’s where Cajun Catfish comes into play, one of the best seafood buffets in Louisiana.

First things first: get there early.
