I agree with this one.

I only read the first page of responses, so if someone already mentioned, oh well.

Natchitoches, LA is not close to Baton Rouge, but is a cool little town. Great romantic weekend spot. It's the town where Steel Magnolias was filmed, and you can even stay in the main home where the movie was filmed since it is now a B&B. The Christmas lights festival is great, but really crowded. Go to Lasione's and eat some Natchitoches meat pies.
