We've searched the South's cities, villages, and hamlets to find a small
town perfect for a fun summer getaway. There's no better time for a
refreshing escape, and we've picked just the spots--Mandeville,
Louisiana; Jonesborough, Tennessee; and New Bern, North Carolina.
Each town boasts a special beauty. Yet there's more than just historic
architecture and stunning natural landscapes to these places. Enjoy the
festivities in Mandeville, which parties like its big sister, New
Orleans, but with small-town flair. Listen to stories, and dance on Main
Street in Jonesborough. Play on the water in New Bern. All three are
easy on the budget, and residents go out of their way to welcome
visitors. Don't think of yourself as a tourist. By the time you leave,
you'll be family.
Living Large by the Lake--Mandeville
Louisiana has more to offer than the party-girl city of New Orleans.
Mandeville nestles on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain.
One Amazing Story--Jonesborough
Coast to a stop at the crest of Main Street's gentle hill just outside
town, and look down upon this striking village in northeast Tennessee.
Tucked Between Two Rivers--New Bern
What's neat about New Bern? This little burg may be one of the prettiest
and friendliest places on the coast of North Carolina.
