I am headed your way this year for our football matchup this year. I was hoping some of you guys on here could tell me where to stay, eat, and what to see. I like cajun food, bars, and to see the sites. Let me know what you got for me to do there.

The Church Street Inn in downtown historic Natchitoches I hear is VERY nice. There are also around 60 Bed & Breakfast houses in a town of 20,000...Originally Posted by bobcatalum05
Natchitoches doesn't have much Cajun influence. From Alexandria-North it really isn't Cajun influence...more like East Texas...LOL!!!
Now, that aside, there is GREAT food in Natchitoches. Most either country cooking or Creole[not cajun]. Natchitoches is known far and wide for their meat pies. Lasyone's is my favorite place to eat and has THE best meat pies that are in existence. It is also a block away from the Church Street Inn.
Isn't the place downtown (Papa's?) Cajun food? It's a big hangout.
Yes, I grew up near Natchitoches and I think I was almost 10 before I met my first Cajun - I was amazed. Nationally, folks assume north Louisiana is Cajun - wrong. Definitely there is more association with east Texas.
So what you guys are telling me is that the possum filled meat pies are the way to go. I kid....... I kid.....!
I never asked what was in the meat pies come to think of it! :eek:
They are darn good, that's for sure.
I think it is a mixture of pork/beef with various spices. However I bet you could probably find a possum meat pie out in the sticks.
The restaurants that the guy from McNeese mentioned are both good. If you want a steak try the Trail Boss Steakhouse in the Cane River Shopping Center. Another that is more of a Bar/Grill is The Library on University Parkway. As in "Don't lie to you Ma, tell her you're at The Library". Right after the game there is a thing called "Boogie on the Bricks" on Front Street. It is a mini festival with bands, beer and ...well you get the picture.
Just like the commentators from CSTV who worked the NSU - Delaware St. game this past weekend.
Meat Pies and Boudin....
Nice combination...
As for where to stay...I better leave that one to the People of Natchitoches. :nod:
