Description
Natchitoches Louisiana is (pronounced "Knack-ah-tish") and is the oldest permanent settlement still in existence from the Louisiana Purchase. Said to have been established in 1714. This home was most likely built at the turn of the century about 1803. Constructed by a Freedman of color and further downstream from its current location. It's named after the last occupant, Madame Albert Roque.
If you visit you will find this to be most accommodating with many Bed and Breakfast establishments within a 33 block area that is the "National Historic Landmark District". Their are restaurants to suit all tastes from Cajun to Contemporary. Museums, galleries, shops, historic architecture and the highlight is that for a good distance it is all within walking distance of the banks of the Cane River. For more photos of this area as well as my other artwork please visit my galleries here in FAA

So much history here, so many ghosts of people in the past with stories to tell. How many people sat at the "porch" together, just jawing after the day was done . . .
