If you’ve ever dreamed of sneaking away for a cozy weekend with your favorite person, I’ve been there—and Louisiana might just surprise you. During my travels, I’ve found myself wrapped in Southern charm, whether I was sipping wine under mossy oaks or waking up in a bayou cabin to birdsong and mist. You don’t have to look far for romance here. These getaways in Louisiana bring together rich culture, historic charm, and quiet moments that feel like they were made just for two. If you're ready for something special, I’ve got a few places I think you'll fall in love with.
Highlights:
- I’ve strolled hand in hand through the French Quarter, where you can linger over candlelit dinners and live jazz that fills the night air.
- You’ll love staying in a charming B&B in Natchitoches—I did, and the historic feel of Louisiana’s oldest town makes it all the more romantic.
- There’s nothing like boating through the bayous of Breaux Bridge at sunset. I’ll never forget those colors in the sky.
- If you enjoy history and slow-paced exploring, you should visit the plantations and gardens in St. Francisville—I wandered for hours there.
- When I needed quiet, I headed near West Monroe for wine tasting and peaceful countryside stays—I think you’d find it just as soothing.
