Flights to Baton Rouge
The French called it “le baton rouge” or “the red stick,” when they settled the land in the late 17th century and the name stuck. Since then, Baton Rouge has retained much of that French flair while transforming into a modern, must-see destination.
A capital city that knows how to cut loose, Baton Rouge is about 80 miles northwest of the better-known New Orleans. Home to plenty of live music venues celebrating the Creole culture, you can duck into one of the many blues or jazz clubs and catch a show that will have your toes tapping to the beat. Stop by the Roux House for a taste of the good life, Cajun style.
