Natchitoches, Louisiana


Along the Cane River in downtown Nachitoches, Louisiana

Earlier this week my ramblings took me 100 miles east to Nachitoches, Louisiana (pronounced nakka-tush) for the day.  A day was just not enough time to completely savor this wonderful city and area.  Established in 1714 as a French colony Nachitoches is steeped in French and Creole history and sits on the banks of the Cane River.  I also visited Melrose Plantation in the Cane River National Historical Park and in the days and weeks to come I'll give you a sampling of some of the photos I took here.

If the rest of the town is as pretty as this garden, it will be great fun to see it.
