    It is well located for visiting lots of places southwest of New Orleans. The house is situated on the water, and there is a lovely terrace by the water to sit and rock. I spent one fun late afternoon there with a French couple explaining menus...

Charming B&B located right on Bayou Lafourche, 30 minutes south of the New Orleans International airport, 10 min. from Thibodaux and 15 min. from Houma. Closest Cajun B&B to New Orleans.

She will help you plan your day too!. Free WiFi and free parking. All bedrooms are non smoking. Rest in the hammock and watch the bayou flow slowly by, rock in the comfortable rockers on the back porch or newly built pavilion right on the water. Guests love relaxing out on the pavilion as they return each day. Watch the water birds searching the floating vegetation for food. Catch sight of a bald eagle soaring over the bayou where fish are jumping. Catch a glimpse of an alligator raise its head above water or an egret perched on the wharf. Hear the sounds of birds, crickets, owls, and bullfrogs.
