West Baton Rouge
With each mile traveled along historic River Road, anticipation builds as to what might lie around the next bend. Sugar cane fields and moss-draped lanes wind their way in and out of view. By the time you cross the Sunshine Bridge you’re well immersed in 500 years of history layered with such diverse culture and tradition that you couldn’t possibly be somewhere you’ve ever been before. In this special place where Native American, Spanish, French, German, Italian, English, African and Acadian cultures have thrived and mingled, the sights, sounds, traditions and experiences are truly more varied and unique.
