3 Days in Louisiana’s River Parishes near New Orleans

ByPaige Watts

If you’re looking to get away from the chaos of Bourbon Street and experience peaceful cypress swamps, walk down beautiful oak alleys, and learn true antebellum history, then you’ll love spending a weekend in Louisiana’s River Parishes.

Located just outside New Orleans along the Mississippi River, the River Parishes are home to some of the South’s most famous plantations, wildlife-filled swamps, hidden gems, and some of the best home cooking in the state.

During my 3 days in Louisiana’s River Parishes, I discovered that this region offers some of the most unique experiences in South Louisiana — from visiting a hidden chapel that can only be reached by boat to touring the iconic Oak Alley Plantation.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable side trip from New Orleans, this 3-day Louisiana River Parishes itinerary will show you the best things to see, eat, and experience.

Thanks so much to Louisiana’s River Parishes for hosting my trip! As always, all opinions are my own.

Weekend Itinerary in Louisiana’s River Parishes

Louisiana’s River Parishes are the communities along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge — St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James Parishes.

This region sits along historic River Road, about 45–60 minutes from the French Quarter, making it an easy weekend getaway from New Orleans. The area is best known for its grand plantation homes, bayous and wetlands, and small-town Louisiana culture that feels worlds away from the busy streets of NOLA.

Day 1: River Road Plantations in Louisiana’s River Parishes

Our first day exploring Louisiana’s River Parishes took us from a truly hidden gem to the most famous plantation near New Orleans. We got out on the water to see a chapel that can only be reached by boat, definitely one of the most unique things to do in the River Parishes, and then settled in for a night at the iconic Oak Alley Plantation.

Arrive in Louisiana’s River Parishes

Louisiana’s River Parishes are just a short drive from New Orleans: it’s only about 1 hour from the French Quarter to the River Road plantations. I do recommend having a car for this itinerary because the stops are all spread out across the parishes.

I flew into the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), which was a super easy 1-hour direct flight from Atlanta. You can get a rental car at the airport and be good to go for the weekend!

Lunch at PJ’s Coffee

We had lunch from PJ’s Coffee, a chain started in New Orleans that was a pioneer in the coffee industry when Phyllis Jordan founded the coffee shop in 1978.

They’re known for their quality arabica coffee beans sourced from around the world, but they also have some great food too, from beignets and pastries to breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches.

I had their Club Sandwich, which is a delicious combination of ham, turkey, bacon, American cheese, Swiss cheese, and ciabatta bread. I also highly recommend their massive chocolate chip cookies that are the size of your head, packed with chocolate chips, and the perfect softness.

Stop at St. James Parish Welcome Center

Our first official stop in Louisiana’s River Parishes was the St. James Parish Welcome Center.

This is a great little rest stop that has a renovated French Creole House, information about the area and the famous spots in St. James Parish, restrooms, a pavilion, and a short boardwalk trail through the wetlands.

Take a boat to Our Lady of the Blind River Chapel

Our next stop was Our Lady of the Blind River Chapel, which is a literal hidden gem in Louisiana’s River Parishes because you have to have a boat to access it — there’s no other way to get here.

This tiny chapel on the Blind River in Gramercy, LA honors the Virgin Mary. Martha Deroche and her family hand-built the chapel in the 1980s, spurred on by Martha’s visions.

It’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it’s always free. You just need to know how to get there.

We were taken out to the chapel by Martha’s grandson, Lance. Next to the chapel is the “camp” where he and his wife stay when they aren’t at their home in town, and his grandparents’ old home that has since changed ownership. Lance and his wife welcomed us to the chapel and told us about the ongoing repairs; the chapel needs a lot of care thanks to flooding and Louisiana weather.

If you have a boat, the best place to put in is at the St. James Boat Club. If you don’t have a boat, find a friend who does or make a new friend.

The Facebook group Friends Of Our Lady Of Blind River is a great place to ask for a ride; Lance and his wife are in the group and respond to requests when they’re available, as do other helpful members. I also have no doubt that if you asked anyone at the boat club for a ride, you’d find someone willing to take you out to the chapel; it’s just that kind of neighborly place.

Check-in at Oak Alley Plantation Cottages

Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant & Inn is one of the most unique places to stay in Louisiana’s River Parishes. They have 9 charming cottages that range from one bedroom to two bedrooms, all with private baths, a kitchen area, and a living room area.

The oldest cottages (3, 4, 5A, 5B, and 6) were built in the 1890s-1920s for the estate’s employees like the chauffer, cook, and farm workers. The largest cottage (the Milkshed) was built in 2004 as a home for the owners of the Restaurant & Inn. The newer cottages (7, 8, and 9) were built in 2015 and have a much more modern feel.

I stayed in cottage 5A, which is a duplex split into two private rooms. There is a shared screened-in porch, and entering the cottage brings you into the living room area with a couch, chairs, a small table, and a closed-up antique fireplace. The next room is the bedroom with a king-sized four-poster bed, a larger dresser, and another closed-up fireplace. The next room is a small kitchenette with a full-sized fridge, a microwave, and counterspace. Off the kitchen area is a bathroom with a shower, as well as a door leading to a patio outside.

The best part about staying at these cottages is that you get the entire property to yourself once the plantation tours are done for the day. That means you can get incredible sunset pictures of Oak Alley without people in them!

You have free reign of the entire grounds, so you can explore the grounds as much as you’d like at night. I ventured out for nighttime pictures after everyone else was asleep, and it was very peaceful.

You can read my full review of my stay at Oak Alley’s cottages here.

Budget Hotel Options
Modern Holiday Inn Express & Suites hotel room with a king bed, bedside lamps, desk and chair, flat-screen TV, mini fridge, and coffee station, accented by a blue feature wall and large window in St. Rose, Louisiana.
Best Western Inn hotel room with a neatly made bed featuring white linens and pillows, flanked by wall-mounted bedside lamps and wooden nightstands, with framed landscape artwork on the wall in LaPlace, Louisiana.

Staying at the Oak Alley cottages is pretty pricey, in the $200-$400+ range depending on which cabin you book.

So if you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, I have options!

  • Holiday Inn Express & Suites New Orleans Airport South — This is a super convenient hotel to the airport, with comfortable rooms, a free breakfast, free parking, a pool, and a restaurant attached. I stayed here for a conference in a king room, and it was great.
  • Best Western Inn LaPlace — This hotel is a little more convenient to the stops on this itinerary, with comfortable suite-style rooms with a kitchenette, living room area, a pool, a fitness center, free breakfast, and free parking. I stayed in a king suite here and was pleasantly surprised by how much space it offered. The only thing I don’t like, for myself personally, is that it’s motel-style with doors to the outside; I feel safer in an enclosed hotel.

Oak Alley Plantation Room Service for Dinner

Plate of Southern-style food including rice with crawfish etouffee, red beans and rice with sausage, stewed green beans, sliced smoked sausage, and a piece of white bread at Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant in Vacherie, Louisiana.

For dinner, there aren’t a lot of options near Oak Alley Plantation. The restaurant doesn’t do a sit-down dinner service, but they do offer an in-room Evening Meal Service.

This includes meals that are pre-prepared and placed in your refrigerator for you to reheat and serve.

I had the Chicken, Smoked Sausage, and Andouille Gumbo, a Tossed Green Salad, Oak Alley Plantation’s Famous Bread Pudding, a roll with butter, and Ice Tea.

The meal didn’t blow me away. It tasted like leftovers, which is never as good as when it’s fresh (I did have most of this food fresh previously when it was catered for our conference event, so I know it can taste better).

Most restaurants in the area are at least a 20 minute drive from the plantation, and many local restaurants are closed on Sunday and Monday nights. So if you want something different for dinner, you’ll need to plan ahead.

Day 2: Food and Culture in Louisiana’s River Parishes

On day two of our Louisiana’s River Parishes itinerary, we took a deeper dive into the region’s culture with a plantation tour, local restaurants, a look at African American music history, and outdoor adventures like kayaking through nearby swamps.

Breakfast at Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant

Breakfast plate with a toasted sandwich filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, and melted cheese, served alongside a bowl of creamy grits topped with shredded cheddar cheese at Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant in Vacherie, Louisiana.

Oak Alley Plantation Restaurant serves a delicious Southern breakfast daily (and I did like this better than their Evening Meal Service).

Their menu is full of Louisiana favorites like Beignets, Shrimp & Grits, Omlettes, and Breakfast Sandwiches.

I had the Breakfast Sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and bacon on Texas toast with a side of cheese grits. Others in my group got the Plantation Breakfast, which is perfect if you want a little bit of everything.

In the morning, we took a guided Oak Alley Plantation tour of the Big House. Early in the morning is a great time for a tour because it’s less crowded.

You can get tickets for just the Historic Site, which gives you access to the grounds, gardens, alley of oaks, slavery exhibit, and sugarcane exhibit. But I highly recommend booking the Big House ticket that gives you a guided tour inside the home as well.

The Big House tour helps give context to life at the plantation. The opulent interior and lavish lifestyle of the family is contrasted with the hardships of the enslaved working in the house and out in the fields.

Upstairs on the balcony offers a unique perspective of the famed alley of live oaks.

Around the property, you can learn a lot more about the evolution of the plantation.

  • The Sugarcane Theatre details how sugarcane was grown and how slavery was integral in amassing the family’s wealth.
  • The Slavery at Oak Alley exhibit inside the replica enslaved cabins focuses on the stories of the enslaved men, women, and children who worked on the plantation, and follows life after emancipation when barely paid workers continued to live in the squalid housing into the 20th century.
  • The People of Oak Alley exhibit consists of information plaques throughout the property that covers life at the plantation after the Civil War until the last resident owners bought it in 1925.

Lunch at Mabile’s Restaurant

Po’ boy sandwich filled with crispy fried shrimp, shredded lettuce, tomato, and creamy sauce on a French bread roll from Mabile's Restaurant in LaPlace, Louisiana.

Mabile’s Restaurant is a great local spot for lunch. This laid-back, home-style restaurant has seafood platters, po’boy sandwiches, and classic Cajun fare. They’ve been family-owned and -operated since 1984.

The sandwiches here are huge and packed with filling. I got the Fried Shrimp Po’Boy and could only eat half of the regular size. It was some of the best fried shrimp I had on my trip.

One of my friends got half of a Traditional Muffaletta, and this thing was massive! It was stacked tall with meat and filled an entire to-go container. By the time she was finished eating, it looked like she hadn’t even touched it. So be forewarned that half a muffaletta can feed an entire table.

Historic Riverlands Soul River Musical Journey Tour

Historic Riverlands is centered around the historic Our Lady of Grace Church, which was built in 1936 for African American Catholics. The church was originally located on the River Road and was moved to its current location on the grounds of the former Cornland Plantation by Pastor Steven Perrilloux and First Lady Rita Perrilloux.

They’ve created two history tours: the Historic Church Tour that focuses on the experience of a Black Catholic church in the Jim Crow Era; and the Soul River Musical Journey Tour that focuses on African American influence on music.

We took the Soul River Musical Journey Tour, which includes a film presentation, music listening stations, and live musical performances. It was a great journey through history from the call-and-response songs of the enslaved to jazz, zydeco, blues, gospel, soul, R&B, and rock.

Manchac Magic Kayak Swamp Tour

Our Manchac Magic Kayak Swamp Tour with Wild Louisiana Tours was a highlight of this trip, for sure!

We took a 2-hour tour just before sunset, so it was the perfect scenic setting on the bayou. Our tour was led by a biologist who taught us so much about the swamp ecosystem, wildlife, history, and even some local legends. We saw plenty of alligators, birds, and turtles.

It was beautiful being out on the water. The cypress swamp has slow-moving water, so it wasn’t difficult at all to paddle. We even had someone in our group who had never kayaked before, and she did just fine.

Dinner at Petra Restaurant & Lounge

Plate of penne pasta in a creamy seafood sauce with shrimp, crawfish, crab, mushrooms, and herbs, topped with grated Parmesan cheese at Petra Restaurant & Lounge in LaPlace, Louisiana.

Petra Restaurant & Lounge is an Italian and seafood restaurant in LaPlace. Their dishes have a unique Middle Eastern spin, and it’s a great place for white tablecloth dining in Louisiana’s River Parishes.

I recommend the Eggplant Sticks or the Smoked Salmon for an appetizer and the Petra Pasta with shrimp, crawfish, and crabmeat in a mushroom cream sauce for your main dish.

Day 3: Swamp Tour near New Orleans

We spent our final morning exploring Louisiana’s famous wetlands with an airboat adventure. A swamp tour is one of the most popular experiences near New Orleans, and it’s an unforgettable way to end a River Parishes getaway.

Breakfast at Coffee &

Mardi Gras–style king cake cut into slices, decorated with white icing and green, purple, and yellow sprinkles inside a bakery box from Coffee & in Norco, Louisiana.

For breakfast, I recommend stopping at Coffee & in Norco for gourmet donuts and unique King Cake creations, like a fruit-filled one (I’m a fan of their apple), a cream cheese-filled one, and a praline-topped one.

Ragin Cajun Airboat Tour

The last thing we did in Louisiana’s River Parishes was take a Ragin Cajun Airboat Tour, which was a great way to end our trip.

This 1.5 hour tour of the swamp in a classic airboat was so much fun. These tours are operated in a private swamp, so there’s not a bunch of noisy commercial boats around.

Because it’s private land that isn’t near a residential area, they do feed the alligators so they’ll come closer to the boat for better viewing, but it never felt like they were being irresponsible with it (like some videos I’ve seen of other tours where their hands are practically in the alligator’s mouth). If an alligator didn’t respond to a tossed marshmallow, we viewed them from afar and then kept on going.

There are a ton of alligators in this swamp, so we saw plenty. Our guide knew each one by sight, and he knew where they liked to hang out.

One of the most exciting parts was seeing Jack, their 12-foot alligator who is big and lazy and can always be found sunning in the same spot. We also so baby alligators, a snake, and a lot of birds. A racoon also lives in the swamp and is fond of the marshmallows, but he didn’t come out to play on our visit.

This was a relaxing ride through the swamp, very scenic and quiet, and just a chill way to see a lot of wildlife up close.

Depart Louisiana’s River Parishes

After our airboat tour, it was time to bid farewell to Louisiana’s River Parishes and head home. Flying out of the New Orleans airport was quick and easy for me, and I was back in Atlanta in no time.

Airport Lunch: The Munch Factory
Takeout container with a grilled chicken wrap cut in half, filled with lettuce, diced tomatoes, and buffalo sauce, served with seasoned steak fries and a side of dipping sauce from The Munch Factory at the New Orleans Airport in Kenner, Louisiana.

I ate lunch at the airport at The Munch Factory, a New Orleans original that offers a modern take on Creole cuisine.

Their airport location is counter-serve with designated seating. The menu is just a simplified version of the NOLA location, with options like gumbo, wraps, po’boys, sandwiches, red beans & rice, and shrimp. I recommend the Buffalo Chicken Wrap.
