Home for many years to local Methodist ministers, the
Parsonage Bed and Breakfast is tucked away in the graceful historic
district of Natchitoches,
Louisiana, the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase and home to
the annual Christmas Festival of Lights. Located between
Alexandria and Shreveport, Natchitoches is 4 hours northwest (map) of New
Orleans, and served as the filming location for the motion picture
“Steel Magnolias.”
Local attractions include:
Ft. St. Jean Baptiste (French fort)
American Cemetery (oldest cemetery in the Louisiana Purchase)
Melrose Plantation & the works of folk artist Clementine Hunter 17.8
miles
Kate Chopin Home & Bayou Folk Museum 26.2 miles |

Built in the 1940’s, The Parsonage
features “The Pastor’s Room,” furnished with an antique, white iron double bed,
private bath, private entrance (perfect for honeymooners—see our
Romance Package) and sumptuous gourmet breakfasts. We are a short
walk to the downtown shopping district and Christmas Festival
activities, restaurants, and Northwestern State University (please see our
special discounts for parents). The Pastor’s Room allows for
double occupancy, and smoking is permitted on the front porch. No pets
are permitted at The Parsonage. |
