Day 1 - Saturday, November 19 - Natchitoches – Morning departure from Zachary and Baton Rouge, routing through Lafayette. After we arrive in Natchitoches, our first stop will be at St. Augustine Catholic Church and Cemetery, a historic Roman Catholic church considered to be the cultural center of Cane River’s historic Creoles of color community. Established as a mission church in 1829, St. Augustine is celebrated as the first church in Louisiana to be built by and for free people of color, and is among the oldest churches founded and built by and for people of African descent in the United States. We then make our way to Melrose Plantation, which dates back to 1796 and is a National Historic Landmark. See paintings by renowned artist, Clementine Hunter, and learn her story. Our included lunch will be at Merci Beaucoup’s. Located in the historic district of Natchitoches, they offer original classic Cajun and American dishes and are known for their Cajun Potato, an incredible stuffed potato topped with crawfish etouffee and jumbo fried shrimp, along with delicious meat pies, a Natchitoches staple. This afternoon, we’ll enjoy a tour of the 33 historic blocks of Natchitoches, including key Steel Magnolia film sites. Hear a local guide’s first-hand account of what it was like to have such stars as Julia Roberts and Dolly Parton living in town during filming. Hear the story of the “real” Shelby and her family. This evening, enjoy dinner on your own and then gather on the riverwalk to see the Natchitoches Christmas Festival of Lights with fireworks and more than 300,000 lights lit for the holiday season. Overnight in the Natchitoches area. Day 2 - Sunday, November 20 - Home– Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before we make our way home. |
