Weekend Getaway in New Orleans Plantation Country

 

For a delightful weekend getaway, step back in time to explore the historic New Orleans Plantation Country, home to some of the most picturesque Southern landscapes and legendary plantation homes in the region. Beyond the gorgeous architecture and expansive foliage in bayou country, the mesmerizing history of its past and present populaces give this part of Louisiana a distinct charm that truly makes the trek worth every mile traveled. As weather gently transitions from sweltering summer heat to the windswept temperatures of harvest season, take advantage of these autumn days to visit stunning plantation estates, restaurants, swamp and airboat tours of native wildlife (including Louisiana alligators), and more.
