Took a little longer than an hour coming out of New Orleans . The map instructions says an hour but I would allow at least an hour and a half so you don’t feel like you need to rush and to allow for a stop. Enjoy the trip and give yourselves plenty of time.

The Houmas Plantation is located in Darrow on the famous "Plantation Route" along the Mississippi River. It takes its name from the Houma tribe, which once occupied these lands. The large main house, with its imposing columns was completed in 1840. At its peak, the plantation was one of Louisiana's largest sugar producers. It was bought and restored by Dr. George Crozat in 1940, then by Kevin Kelly in 2003 which can be seen, from time to time, on the site. The plantation is famous for its beautiful gardens adorned with tropical plants, fountains and centuries-old oak trees. Guided tours of the mansion are offered by staff in period costumes, immersing visitors in 19th century life. It’s interesting but in English. The site also includes several restaurants, including The Carriage House Restaurant, renowned for its local Creole cuisine. The site also has an unlimited Self-Service buffet. La Plantation also offers accommodation in private cottages on the estate in addition to a huge free parking. The house has been used as a filming location for films, including Shh... Shh, dear Charlotte (Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte). This is the most beautiful house we visited during our trip in the region.

Over $120 for two adult tickets. The house tour was interesting, but did not contain a single word about the enslaved population that built and worked there. I’ve visited a number of plantation sites around the country, and this is the only one to totally ignore all the beauty was built by enslaved people. The gardens are pretty. The museum was NOT worth the entry fee (separate from the house tour and garden access) unless you want to read a paragraph or two about each of the plantations that were along the river. Am I mad that I went, no. Would I recommend this site, also no.
