Where We Serve: Baton Rouge

Quick Facts

Life in the City

Perhaps the best part about living in Baton Rouge is the uniqueness of the local culture – from the food to Mardi Gras parades to crawfish boils to Cajun accents. Just outside the city, you end up in bayou country; the swamp tours are not to be missed!

Baton Rouge

Sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River and at the junction of Interstates 10 and 12, Baton Rouge is the capital city of Louisiana. The population of the city proper is about 227,000, a number that reflects a recent post-Katrina surge in population. It boasts both variety and quality in food and music, and generally contains an eclectic mix of the cultures and ways of life found throughout the State of Louisiana. In particular, the city has a passionate love affair with its food; in fact, local teachers have been known to explain, "Our state monuments are found on every plate."
