Description:

Go beyond New Orleans to tour 1 of 2 Louisiana plantations on the banks of the Mississippi River—Oak Alley Plantation or Creole Laura Plantation. Learn about 3 centuries of rich history and folklore as you experience the sights and sounds of the world-renowned French Quarter and Jackson Square.

The double row of 28 canopied oak trees that runs a quarter of a mile up to the house helps make Oak Alley Plantation one of the most photographed plantations in the country. Built in 1839, this historic structure is survived by the legacies left by the Roman and Stewart families, and others who made an impact on this iconic landscape.

Or instead, choose to tour the Creole Laura Plantation with its sweeping sugarcane fields and historically significant slave quarters. Admire several other plantations on the Great River Road from afar, and learn their unique stories.

Then hop aboard a bus and embrace the beauty of the exclusive Garden District's stately mansions, late-Victorian architecture, and famous homes once owned by kings and queens of Mardi Gras.

Learn about above-ground crypts and mausoleums known as “Cities of the Dead” and hear stories of voodoo and piracy on Bayou St. John—the waterway used by Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates. Then make your way to the fifth-largest park in America, Audubon Park, home to the Besthoff Sculpture Garden and the Morning Call Cafe.
