Ahhh, who hasn’t dreamed about staying in a Frank Lloyd Wright house? America’s greatest architect is best known for his innovative modern designs and daring lines. Like his spiraling Guggenheim Museum. And Fallingwater—that famous house with cantilevered terraces jutting over a 30-foot waterfall. Both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Architectural buffs are certainly familiar with his […]
On a cool November dawn, my kayaking guide picks me up at Maison Madeleine B&B. Minutes later, the two of us are ready to embark on a morning paddle around Lake Martin. The air has a slight chill, but we’ve dressed accordingly. My guide, Janenne, has a calm energy about her. As we push […]
Hidden away among moss-draped oaks and palmetto palms sits Maison Madeleine, an enchanting B&B in a southern Louisiana bayou. This French Creole cottage is a tranquil retreat, surrounded by lush greenery and birdsong. Catering to just one guest party at time, it offers plenty of privacy and peace. Guests have the unique opportunity to […]
Hello!
What a great read about your travels to my hometown, Breaux Bridge. Especially, the part reading about my parents cooking for you and Maison Madeliene! I want to send this to my parents, so they can see it. I do have a small request:
Would you mind changing my parents’ names to Hubert and Vickie? Instead of Hebert and Viki? Our last name is Hebert, though. I know, my father’s name is something: Hubert Hebert! Ha!
I am not complaining, really. Just wanted to let you know 🙂
I to miss home! I live in DC now, and cook like my mother! If yall are ever here, please do let me know!
Regards,
Casey Hebert
(Hubert and Vickie’s son)
I’m so glad you stumbled onto this post Casey! Your parents were a true delight with their charming southern hospitality. Of course I will gladly correct the spelling of the names, sorry about that! I bet you’re a fantastic cook if you learned from your parents!
The Myrtles Plantation offers a unique opportunity to stay in a lovely antebellum mansion on a historic plantation from yesteryear. But its reputation— one of America’s top ten most haunted places— draws those keen on seeing more than period antiques and original furnishings. For almost 40 years, paranormal groups, television crews and ghost hunters have […]
Thank you for sharing road tips and it is very much helpful to me.
We would like to stay the night in the plantation home
Which room would you pick?!
Sitting on a long dock extending over Caddo Lake, I’m listening to music on my phone. Actually, just one song. The Eagles’ old hit, Seven Bridges Road. (Listen here.) The moving melody of their acapella harmonies give me chills. Somehow it fits this haunting landscape. Like the person featured in the song, I, too, had […]
