Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana is an area of lush, stately plantations along the soothing, shady reaches of the Great River Road. It's also home to intriguing Cajun cabins tucked back in the cool shade of Bayou Grosse Tete. Dominating the sky is the Louisiana State Capitol building, the nation's tallest state capitol. Nearby, the Governor's Mansion resembles an antebellum home. Baton Rouge's combination of government, universities, petrochemical refineries, and its port, guarantees a wealth of nightlife, entertainment, and restaurants.
