Welcome
Welcome to the Town of Jean Lafitte!
Thank you for visiting our official website.
Whether you’re a resident or a visitor, this site is your guide to everything happening in our town—from public meetings and community services to charter fishing, swamp tours, and local events.
Located just 30 minutes from New Orleans, Jean Lafitte is truly a world apart. Nestled in the heart of the Barataria Basin—one of the most productive estuaries in North America—we are a vibrant community surrounded by bayous, swamps, and rich wetlands. Our town is home to abundant wildlife, world-class fisheries, and a proud cultural heritage rooted in the land and water that sustain us.
We invite you to explore Jean Lafitte and discover what makes our community so unique.
We’re continuing to update this website with new information and resources, so please check back often.
