Good one
It's funny 'cause I'm from Québec and I was thinking about doing a Fleur-de-lys myself since we got 4 of them on our flag but you beat me to the punch

I've never really thought of New Orleans and Montreal as having a lot in common, but come to think of it, the fleur-de-lys is the least of it.

Yeah it's true lot of festivity in the summer, love for music and great food, beautiful women, all that because of some "horse eater" ( sorry frenchie) down in the old country.

THat the ultimate proof that France is not as bad a place as we like to say....

no offence to the French we love your women and your wine

Lovely job Joy! Thank you :)

I wasn't sure if it actuallly was the fleur-de-lys until I read the comments.

Ok, Zandperl... what else would it have been?

I was expecting a pelican as the symbol of Louisiana. The fleur-de-lis is definitely popular in LA, but I think of it more as a symbol of France. :)

Kristen, I think you live in Louisiana. Being a life-long native of the state, I agree with you. New Orleans and their football team, the Saints, co-opted a fleur-de-lis as their emblem and others across the state, especially Saint fans, have spread its usage. But I still think of it as more of the symbol of France.

I do--I'm not a native, but I've lived here since '09

The connection makes a lot of sense since the Cajuns come from French Canada. Cajun is a mispronunciation of Acadian.

I did not know that! Cool!
