Louisiana
Gems
The following is a list of the most recent AAA Gems in Louisiana. These are tourist destinations that have AAA's highest recommendation. It's hard to go wrong when choosing to visit a Gem. Unfortunately, there is no longer an index list of Gems in AAA Tourbooks which is why this list was created. Items listed in bold have already been visited by Mr. and Mrs. Mouse.
Festivals and all other short term events include the next or most recent event dates. The location code is drawn from the official State of Georgia Highway and Transportation Map for 2022. You can get the full Wall or the Front and Back halves HERE. (All three maps are extremely large.) In addition, all cities are identified on this Google map.
