JACK ALLEN ROAD  This is a connecting road between La. Hwy 42, which has

always been known as the French Settlement to Springfield Road, and La.

Hwy. 444, the old Bayou Barbary Road.  You may locate it by traveling

north on Hwy. 42, making a right turn several hundred years inside the

northeast limits of the village of French Settlement.  According to Mr.

Richard Lobell of French Settlement, now deceased, the road was named

for two residents who lived on the northwest end at the time of con-

struction.  Their names were Jack Gregoire and Allen Matherne.
