Stop At: Oak Alley Plantation, 3645 Highway 18, Vacherie, LA 70090-7079

One of two plantation options. A powerful testimony to the rich history of the antebellum south, Oak Alley invites visitors to explore all facets of her plantation past.

Stop At: Laura Plantation: Louisiana's Creole Heritage Site, 2247 Highway 18, Vacherie, LA 70090-5409

One of two plantation options. Go beyond the myths of the American South at Laura Plantation, where intimate, first-hand accounts explore the lives of four generations of one Louisiana Creole family, both free and enslaved. Laura’s new, permanent exhibit examines in biographical detail the lives of Africans on the plantation, from enslavement into the 20th century. In the heart of Plantation Country only 50 minutes from New Orleans, the fully guided experience includes the Big House, gardens & original 1840s slave cabins. Laura is open daily from 9:30AM - 5PM except for major holidays. The first tour of the day begins at 10AM with tours beginning approximately every 40 minutes thereafter until the last tour of the day at 4PM. Before or after your Laura tour, enjoy authentic, homestyle Cajun and Creole food at B&C Seafood Market and Cajun Restaurant right next door.

We loved Oak Alley, it was so beautiful! We loved the samp tour as well. However, I did not like that we didn’t know until we got dropped off for the swamp tour after oak alley we had to wait a little over an hour until the swamp tour. It would of been nice to know as there was really nothing to do in the are.

I really enjoyed both the plantation and swamp tours. The swamp tour did last a little longer than I expected, but it was a good experience. The drive to and from both locstions was about and hour. We spent about 2 hours at the plantation, and 3 hours at the swamp with 1 hour being a wait period before the next tour. Overall, I enjoyed myself very much.
