Default Natchitoches/Provencal area

Hi!
Can anyone give me any info on the Natchitoches/Provencal area? Is it a good place to live? Employment. Crime. Things to do. Anything would be appreciated!

It's a great place to live. It is rural farm and ranch country. I lived in Natchitoches for 20 years. I would definitely go back if I could. Very laid back atmosphere. Kitsachie National Forest is nearby. Lots of rivers and lakes. Cane River Lake is fabulous.

Employment depends on your background. There is a local university. Conagra plant. Several manufacturing companies. Outside of Natchitoches, there is mostly just farming. Provencal is actually close enough to Alexandria to commute. Several locals work in Alexandria. salaries are normally a little below average. You substitute a laid back atmosphere for salary.

It all depends on your lifestyle and background. Natchitoches schools are good. Crime is low. Life is good there.

Let me know your background and wishes and I might be of more help.

I second getnrdy....Good place to live. Housing is very afforable..A small town atmosphere with everything you need nearby. Great food. Good scenery.

I am going to be commuting to Shreveport the next 2 years because I like it here so much LOL.

Isn't Provencal closer to Leesville than Alex though?

Oops. You are right. The post said Provencal and my mind said Clouterville. So I got my bearings messed up.

I lived in both Natchitoches and Many. But, I really don't know much about Provencal.
