Mini bus picked us up almost an hour after our designated time and then drove us to the big bus which was right in front of our hotel. We could have saved the walk to the pick up hotel (I’m wearing a knee brace) and just gotten on there. We were sent an email with a pick-up time between 8-8:15. We actually got picked up at 8:55. Bus ride was like being on a roller coaster because the ride was so bumpy.

Great experience! Quite disturbing to be honest. The house and the green spaces are incredibly calm, clean and peaceful…. But when you know the reality of what really happened there, the atmosphere becomes heavy and heavy. Our guide was great! And gave us lots of information on the city and the surrounding area throughout the journey, while leaving us free time on arrival at the farm. You can thus visit the exhibition on slavery which is chilling and allows us to remember the horrors that happened there. Visiting the house is not insignificant either. Overall it was a very enriching experience that allows us to soak up and better understand the history of Louisiana. We recommend 100%. Essential if you are visiting Louisiana.

We had the best driver, who regaled us all the way to the plantation. Then, the place was immaculate, with great docents helping you understand what you are seeing. It gave you a good perspective on a part of our history. Surprised at how small house was and how much better the slave quarters were (still not great) than often portrayed by Hollywood. A great adventure.
