Laura Plantation and Oak Alley New Orleans Plantation Tour

Enjoy a narrated journey via scenic cypress swamps with a professional historian. Hear of a land of Creoles, pirates, slaves and voodoo. View Evergreen, Whitney, Felicite' Columbia and St Joseph. as you travel the Old River Road to go to Laura, a Creole plantation whose charm is as wealthy as her history.

Based on the "Plantation Memoirs" of Laura Lacoul, a young Creole girl who grew up on the plantation, the tour narration centers on the charmed and tragic lives of this sugar plantation's females, slaves and youngsters. The tour of the manor residence gardens and slave quarters is accompanied by the compelling narration that has earned  Laura a "Louisiana's Leading Travel Attraction" designation.

Afterward, tour the treasure of the Old South, the magnificent antebellum Oak Alley mansion. With 28 three century old oak trees lining its entrance, Oak Alley is an exquisite reminder of an bygone era, an era now "Gone With The Wind".

The tour centers on plantation history, antiques and architecture. Right after the tour, loosen up on historic grounds, sip a Mint Julep, take images, take pleasure in the snack shop or go to their significant Gift Shop. A photo op session from the levee is next ahead of returning to New Orleans about 2:00 PM..
