Auberge Du Chene Vert Bed and Breakfast

Along the East side of the River Road just a couple miles west of the Lutcher Bridge (hwy 641), this was an ideal place to base for trips to Oak Alley, St. Joesph, Laura, Evergreen and San Francisco Plantations. After our tour of Houmas House we traveled along the east side of the River Road on Hwy 44 back toward New Orleans. It is new and not well known yet, perhaps but they are great accommodations and the owner, Mary fixes a great breakfast. She’ll try to get your preferences the night before for a nice hot breakfast to start your day of sightseeing off to a good start. Once the word gets out this place will be in high demand.
This had been a private family residence, probably from the Sixties, that has had the three bedrooms fixed up very nice. Each with their own bath. We stayed in the bedroom on the front of the house which offered direct access to the full length front porch with several rockers, opposite of the levee. The tariff was very reasonable. We originally reserved one night but stayed two it was so pleasant and the location was perfect. A little planning about eating dinner is in order but there were little local places on both sides of the river in little towns and a renown place or two within 25 miles.
We will definitely return on our next trip to the area as we still have a couple plantations and other local sights to see.
