Last week, we discussed Shreveport’s rich background as an ideal filming location! Of course, the whole state of Louisiana is famous for its role in many legendary movies and TV shows. Did someone say road trip?! If you’re coming to Louisiana for work and want to stay in comfortable, fully furnished Shreveport LA rentals, we’ve got you covered. Then, on your weekends off from work, take some time to enjoy all that our lovely Southern state has to offer.
Location, location, location…right here in Louisiana
Steel Magnolias is a classic film every woman will want to see. If you’d like to see many of the locations where it was filmed, head to Natchitoches, Louisiana, where you can visit more than 15 spots around town.Another old classic, Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, starred Bette Davis and was partially filmed at Houmas House Plantation in Darrow, LA. Houmas House is a gorgeous mansion with gardens and features several restaurants for visitors to enjoy. Take a tour and check out the link above for other movies that also have ties here.
Like Houmas, Oak Alley Plantation has also served as the site for a number of films or shows. These include Interview with a Vampire and Midnight Bayou as well as an episode of Ghost Hunters. The National Historic site has many education exhibits where you can learn about the history of the place and is located in Vacherie, Louisiana.
Besides Shreveport, New Orleans is another great place to visit if you’re looking for a variety of things to do or places to eat. We’ve discussed some options in a previous post. If you’re looking for film-specific details, check out this awesome YouTube video with a virtual walking tour of New Orleans that covers some of the filming locations in the city. Here are a couple of additional resources…a DIY film tour and list of sites in NOLA.
