Tips from the community

You can’t miss out on visiting the state capital, Baton Rouge, or the ‘Red Stick’, which is extremely well connected as it lies just an hour upriver from New Orleans. This hub of culture and history has kept much of its Cajun culture, which makes it a unique place to visit. It is also a reputable ground for the Civil Rights Movement, with the first large bus boycott taking place here in 1953.
