About French Settlement
Set along the Amite River in Livingston Parish, French Settlement is a quiet village with deep roots and a relaxed pace. Settlers from France, Germany, and Italy first established the area in the early 1800s, using the river for steamboats and cypress timber. Today, it appeals to newcomers looking for a peaceful, country feel within an easy drive of Baton Rouge. You'll find a community shaped by the water, where locals enjoy boating, fishing, and moss-draped cypress scenery alongside historic homes that tell the story of early river life.
