On the grounds of Oak Alley, enjoy a sumptuous Plantation Country Brunch featuring Crawfish Etouffee, Chicken Smoked Sausage Gumbo, Oeuf du Jour (egg dish of the day), Cajun Smoked Sausage Links, fresh fruit and yogurt, and other offerings.Before brunch, tour the Big House and walk the grounds for a few minutes in one of the South’s most beautiful settings. Perhaps the most photographed plantation ever, Oak Alley has been the setting for such motion pictures as Interview with a Vampire, Primary Colors, and the wedding of Bo and Hope from the daytime soap opera, Days of our Lives.A few minutes down River Road, enter the world of Creole Louisiana and experience what has been called “the best history tour in the U.S.” as you visit Laura Plantation.This tour is based upon 5,000 pages of documents found in the French National Archives and upon Laura’s Memories of the Old Plantation Home, in which she details 250 years of true-life stories of the Creole women, slaves and children who lived and worked here.Then it’s a short ride to the Manchac Swamp where you will cruise through a privately-owned wildlife refuge, home to the legend of “Rougarou”, the Cajun werewolf. You might not find the “Rougarou”, but you’ll get up close and personal with some alligators in an area where time seems to stand still.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingIn order to help preserve the French Quarter from vehicular traffic, it is requested that you please walk, if possible, to the convenient tour departure point — just a short stroll from most downtown hotelsInfant rates apply provided they do not occupy a seatInclusionsTransportation with guided tour en route to and from the New Orleans French QuarterDelicious plantation brunch featuring a selection of country favoritesGuided tour of Oak Alley PlantationGuided tour of Laura PlantationSwamp cruise with native Cajun guideExclusionsGratuities (optional)Hotel pickup and drop-offSoft Drinks and Alcoholic Beverages (available for purchase)Departure PointAll to
