Laissez les bons temps rouler

French for "Let the good times roll." It's a common expression in Louisiana (not in France), though it's almost always spelled incorrectly. This is the one and only correct spelling of the expression, in either Cajun French or Parisian French. Sadly, even reputable institutions like the Audubon Zoo and the New Orleans Ironman 70.3 use variations of incorrect phonetic spellings they find online.

Laissez les bon temps roulez

Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is a Cajun expression meaning "Let the good times roll!" It strongly conveys the "joie de vivre" ("joy of living") attitude that pervades south Louisiana. It is mostly associated with New Orleans. (THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD!)

I'm going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras so I can Laissez les bon temps roulez!
