Welcome to the River
Parishes of Louisiana!
The story of New Orleans begins Out Here…
On a stretch of land tucked comfortably between New
Orleans and Baton Rouge alongside the mighty Mississippi
River is a story – a complex narrative - both compelling and
repugnant all at the same time.
A land carved by and built by the water and riches of the
mighty Mississippi. From the glory found in overcoming
tragedies, the elegance and the grit, to the many adventures
that twist and turn with the bend of the river…Native
American, French, German, Sicilian, Acadian, and enslaved
people from many lands have all contributed to our regional
culture - -unique to even Louisiana.
Out here we allure visitors by telling the multidimensional,
memorable and poignant stories of River Parish culture. It’s
not just about the Plantation. It’s about the people from
the front of the house to the back of the house, from the
River to the swamp. It’s about the countless experiences
and flavors found in everything from our andouille to our
perique tobacco. It’s the bite of an alligator and the spice in
our gumbo. Our sugarcane waves in the wind to the beat of
our soul music as the leaves of the mighty oak dance to the
song of the field.
Experience the scent of creole and Cajun cooking or puff
on a cigar made of perique tobacco! The River Parishes
have fed the world for centuries…out of the rich soil, a
hardworking people of all shades have harvested a global
feast. Walk or bike the paths atop the levees along the
Mighty Mississippi to watch ships pass as they’ve done for
centuries.
A river. A land. A people.
As the river rolls,
