Taking the River Road to St Francisville, Louisiana

The American Queen at Oak Alley Plantation

I traveled with family to the Antebellum town of St Francisville. There we stayed at The Cottages Plantation and returned my sister to her French Quarter home (after beignets and cafe au lait at Cafe du Monde!). Enjoy the photos of this lovely hidden part of the country.
