Standing outside of the Lafayette Fire Department, the lovingly called "Lafayette Gay Fire Fighter" is a popular picture and meeting place among the locals. It is often used as a landmark to give directions, and as a backdrop for friends.
This is one of the things that only locals know and love and tourists pass by without even knowing it's significance. Located downtown and in the midst of several popular restaurants, it would be a shame to pass this favorite by. Easily accessible by walking and bicycling, and on the Atakapa-Ishak Bicycle Trail.
