Larose, Italy
Bayou Lafourche ( lə-FOOSH), originally called Chetimachas River or La Fourche des Chetimaches (the fork of the Chitimacha), is a 106-mile-long (171 km) bayou in southeastern Louisiana, United States, that flows into the Gulf of Mexico. It was formerly a natural distributary of the Mississippi River
; its source was sealed from the Mississippi by a dam in 1904, but since 1950 a water pump station has provided flow to the bayou. The bayou is flanked by Louisiana Highway 1 on the west and Louisiana Highway 308 on the east, and is known as "the longest Main Street in the world." It flows through parts of Ascension, Assumption, and Lafourche parishes. Today, approximately 300,000 Louisiana residents drink water drawn from the bayou.
