Large Creole style plantation home. Very nicely landscaped grounds and home was in nearly perfect consition. 9 guided tours daily, 6 in English, 3 in French. (See Schedule on official website). Lots of history. Please note, the admission was quite pricey, as I have noticed MOST of these guided tours are. ($15.00 - $20.00 per adult average).
There is a good bit of history found online, official is listed as secondary website below.
Here are a few others WikiHere.
