Oak Alley Plantation, Restaurant and Inn
For something completely different, consider Oak Alley Plantation in the historic town of Vacherie, a little less than 10 miles south of the interstate and on the south shore of the Mississippi River. A former plantation, it has been restored and is open for tours. The inn consists of one and two bedroom cottages and Rene House, which can be rented in its entirety. The Plantation also has a restaurant that is open for lunch and dinner. Overnight guests can arrange in advance to have a pre-prepared meal delivered to their rooms. Be forewarned, though---there have been numerous reports of ghost sightings on the plantation.
