John LaFleur, a native Louisiana French-Choctaw Creole who speaks Louisiana French & Modern French, is a Louisiana Creole-Cajun gourmet, artist, writer-author of Louisiana's Creole and Cajun cultures.
A New Orleans licensed bilingual tour guide he is available as a step on guide for escorted charter bus and private individual tours per small groups (4) across the city and to Cajun country destinations.
I began as a teacher of French language and culture, and I ran a weekend guesthouse from which I prepared Louisiana Creole-Cajun meals, and from which I also led tours to New Orleans. I moved to New Orleans and obtained my licensing after rigorous examinations and live performances for demanding authorities.
People loved the tours and the rich perspective I presented them far beyond the memorized scripts of non-resident guides who mimick one-dimensional scripts.
As a Louisiana Creole who lives the culture and whose ancestors were part of the theater we know as New Orleans, I offer authentic narratives tied to real people and places in the city.
