Stop for pecan pie and a cappuccino at Front Street Marketplace, then visit the Natchitoches Art Guild and Gallery where you can become a part of the vibrant community arts scene. Plan a trip to an alligator park, or visit historic plantations, filling up on gumbo at Pioneer Pub when you get hungry.

During semester, you’ll be glad to spend time at University Place where you can share a room or have one to yourself in a spacious, fully furnished apartment.

Use the Wi-Fi to get on with your work, and rest easy knowing that with utilities and Wi-Fi included in your rent, you won’t incur any unexpected costs.
