Inscription.
The triangle or ti-fer as it's known in Cajun French is one of the first percussion instruments in Cajun & Créole music. Historically it also symbolizes food, calling farmers and field workers in for lunch or supper, Lafayette Travel has reimagined the triangle as a welcoming symbol, calling visitors to experience our distinct food, music & culture. We invite you to take your picture in front of the triangle and join in our rich cultural history.
