About
Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana and rich in history, culture and culinary traditions. Known for its plantations, you can tour these establishments just outside the city limits to learn what everyday life was like and about the history of slavery in the United States. For those interested in Cajun and Creole cuisine, Baton Rouge brings these distinctive cultures together and is renowned for authentic dishes served at several restaurants, including The Chimes, Louisiana Lagniappe and Gino's Restaurant. Bayou tours offer a look into a slice of life that many outsiders don’t get a chance to see. The city is also home to several music venues featuring local musical styles, such as the Varsity Theatre and the Baton Rouge River Center.
