Welcome to Alexandria/Pineville Area... The Heart of Louisiana!
Small town charm with big city options make the Alexandria/Pineville Area the perfect destination.
Visit for a day or visit for a week. You will not run out of things to do and see in Central Louisiana. This area, also known as The Heart of Louisiana,
is truly a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and experiences.
Alexandria was named one of National Geographic's Top 100 Adventure Towns for 2012. The outdoor experience in Rapides Parish includes hiking,
biking, canoeing, camping, and bird-watching in Kisatchie National Forest, or near area lakes. Visit our
Outdoor Recreation page for more ideas!
The hit show "Cajun Pawn Stars" calls Alexandria home. One of the newest reality shows on the History Channel is filmed locally at Silver Dollar
Pawn & Jewelry located on Lee Street in Alexandria. The store is open Monday-Saturday. The store includes the pawn items as well as items from
American history such as items from the Civil Rights era. Visit our online Attractions
listings for other things to see and do.
Alexandria was featured on the SyFy Network show "Ghost Hunters" when members of the Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) investigated downtown
Alexandria buildings including the Hotel Bentley, Finnegan's Wake and Diamond Grill. All three locations are rumored to be haunted. For information
about these locations, and other ghostly happenings in the area, call the CVB Office at (800) 551-9546.
No matter what you do in the Heart of Louisiana,
your soul will thank you.
