Louisiana's Capital City

Down in Baton Rouge lies a city and a history unlike any other. Escape awaits around every corner and the locals just scream with soul. Oh, you wanna talk about Flavor? How 'bout a little Cajun, a little Creole, and a dash of creativity. We're a melting pot 300 years in the making and we love nothing more than sharing ourselves and our city with the rest of the world. The thing is, you don't know Louisiana until you've been to Baton Rouge, because there's nothin' more "Louisiana" than the Capital City.
