New Orleans Plantation
Country is a strip of land,
about 60-miles long, along
the Mississippi River. Known
as the River Parishes and
located in between New
Orleans and Baton Rouge.
We are known for our
unique history, agriculture,
cuisine and ecosystems.
Influences from Germans,
Acadians (Cajuns), French,
Spanish, Native Americans
and enslaved Africans blend
together to create a regional
culture - unique even to
Louisiana.
Out here, you will hear
stories of previous
generations through tours of
plantation estates.
Then you will explore the
swamps to learn of their
importance and encounter
the creatures who live in
harmony with the locals.
You’ll see why Lac Des
Allemands is the “Catfish
Capital of the Universe” and
known for freshwater crab.
Smoked andouille and
Cajun/Creole recipes passed
down from generation
to generation have been
perfected over time and
will bring you right to the
heart and soul of the River
Parishes.
Finally, you’ll discover
Perique tobacco, which can
only be grown out here.
