Day 6—Shreveport, LA—Alexandria, LA— New Orleans, LA
• Take a break and enjoy a muffuletta at Central Grocery or try the many local
dishes, such as Gumbo or Jambalaya, at the French Market.
• Start your morning in the swampy bayou country on the beautiful Caddo Lake, located on the border of Louisiana and Texas and just a short drive away from Shreveport and Bossier City. Here, you can enjoy a bass fishing experience with a professional guide. • Before heading south, tour the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium . Walk in the footsteps of music legends and stand on the stage where idols like Elvis Presley, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash got their start on the Louisiana Hayride radio program. • From Shreveport, travel one hour and 45 minutes to Alexandria. History comes to life at Kent Plantation House , a pristine example of French Creole architecture and the oldest structure standing in Central Louisiana. Let guides in period costume show you the main home, milk house, kitchen, blacksmith shop and the sugar mill. • Glimpse life on a working plantation at Loyd Hall Plantation and hear about the spirit of the Civil War soldier who was killed and buried under the home. Depending on the season, you may see sugar cane, cotton or corn growing in the Bayou Boeuf area.
• Spend the afternoon people watching and shopping in Jackson Square , on Royal Street and along the Mississippi River.
• Since you are only in town for a short time, a
dinner at one of our famous restaurants like Antoine’s, Galatoire’s, Tujague’s or Broussard’s will not only offer you a great meal but a history lesson as well. • No trip to New Orleans is complete without a stop on Bourbon Street for lively music and cocktails, but don’t forget to venture a little further to Frenchmen Street where the locals go! Remember, there is no last call so take advantage of a few extra hours to enjoy the entertainment and atmosphere.
