Natchitoches Main Street
Established in 1714, Natchitoches is the oldest settlement in Louisiana. Once the main post for French, Spanish and Native American traders, the city still remains a cultural hub.
The heart of the Main Street district is Front Street. See gems like Kaffie Frederick General Mercantile, the state's oldest general store; the Cane River Queen, an authentic paddlewheeler; or Cane River Paddle & Pedal Sports, a kayak and SUP outfitter.
Ready for lunch? Snag a traditional meat pie from Lasyone’s, or pan-fried redfish from Mayeaux’s Steak & Seafood.
Discover fantastic exhibits at the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame & Northwest Louisiana History Museum, or spot historic Creole cottages while touring the Cane River National Heritage Area.
Stay close to the fun at Chateau St. Denis (a two-minute walk from Front Street) or the Steel Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast (a 10-minute walk).
Plan your trip around one of our fabulous celebrations. Catch a spring concert held on Cane River Lake, or travel down for the Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival. Our most anticipated event is the Natchitoches Christmas Festival – a six-week-long celebration featuring thousands of brilliant lights and displays.
