Find easy charm and Cajun roots in Louisiana’s capital city.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is home to a number of the South’s finest universities, including Louisiana State University (LSU) and Southern University and A&M College. The city pulses with that special energy generated by colleges and their students — especially on game day, when thousands of LSU Tigers fans descend on South Quad for festive (and sometimes frenzied) tailgating. Bordering the east side of the Mississippi River, the city is also known for its excellent opportunities for outdoor fun in the water and along its shores. You can paddleboard, kayak and golf there — or simply kick back in a big red Adirondack chair and watch the tugboats toot by.
