Tourism

Dotted by antebellum manors and churches. Laced by bayous, swamps and the mighty Mississippi River. St. Charles parish is Louisiana at its finest. Hear the whispers of the 18th century at Destrehan, LaBranche, and Ormond Plantations. Experience the pristine wilderness aboard a swamp-boat adventure or serene drive through a fishing village like Bayou Gauche. "Pass a good time" and cele-brate Louisiana's legendary way of life at the Alligator, Catfish, or Destrehan Plan-tation Fall Festivals.

Only a 25 minute-drive, west of the City of New Orleans, St. Charles Parish offers visitors and residents big-city convenience, while maintaining its rural charm.
