Franklin is a town in Coastal Acadiana that is named after Benjamin Franklin. It was actually settled by a preponderance of British immigrants, who established themselves with elaborate plantations along the Bayou Teche as a new sort of aristocratic society, up until the antebellum era ended, anyway. You can visit some of these restored places for a taste of that lifestyle today.

This site offers some boardwalks and trails in a swampy marshland environment. A Louisiana black bear sighting may be possible, while a Louisiana mosquito is all but guaranteed.
If you are really taken with the antebellum home experience, this place offers you a chance to stay in one.
A more contemporary place to stay, with an outdoor pool and pretty satisfactory eatery called Forest Restaurant to boot.
You'll find Franklin sandwiched between New Iberia and Morgan City along that busy stretch of Hwy 90, Louisiana's sort of Coastal Acadiana corridor.
