Louisiana Highway 103 (LA 103) is a state highway located in St. Landry Parish that spans 39.5 miles (63.6 km) in a wide semi-circle around the north side of Opelousas. The route is not bannered but runs in an overall west–east direction from U.S. Highway 190 (US 190) near Lawtell to LA 31 in Leonville. Along the way, it passes through the towns of Washington and Port Barre.
From the west, LA 103 begins at an intersection with US 190 just west of Lawtell in western St. Landry Parish. It proceeds north along the two-lane, undivided Prairie Ronde Highway and immediately crosses the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks. Approaching the point known as Prairie Ronde, LA 103 turns to the northeast. It then intersects LA 104 which heads toward Mamou on the west and Opelousas on the east. Continuing northeast, LA 103 passes through Ledoux and crosses the Acadiana Railway (AKDN) tracks. At a point northwest of Plaisance, LA 103 intersects US 167 and LA 10 which are concurrent between Ville Platte on the west and a point between Opelousas and Washington on the east. LA 103 turns northwest to follow US 167/LA 10 briefly before resuming its northeastern course, now known as Grand Prairie Highway. Reaching Grand Prairie, LA 103 turns to the southeast, intersecting LA 363 which heads west through Faubourg and eventually toward Ville Platte. LA 103 continues through a point known as Soileau and then enters the town of Washington on West DeJean Street.
