General

Baton Rouge is Louisiana's capital city located just one hour inland from New Orleans. The city has a flourishing downtown and due to rapid economic growth has been named one of the “Top 10 Places for Young Adults”.

Baton Rouge was named in French after a red stick that separated two Native American groups. The city was controlled by the French, English and Spanish throughout its history. It was named the state capital in 1849 and became a hub of steamboat traffic and trade on the Mississippi River.

There is a lot to do in Baton Rouge, from the Capitol Park Museum to the U.S.S. Kidd destroyer ship to the Louisiana Art & Science Museum. There are also plenty of great places to eat, like Head & Tails Seafood for Cajun and creole cooking. Maison Lacour is one of the top ranked restaurants serving French cuisine in Baton Rouge. Magpie Café is a local hit for coffee and desert using organic and local ingredients. The cost of living is lower than average so your budget will take you far.
