Private tour of Maison Chenal, the LaCour House, and the LeJeune House
SOLD OUT

Limited to registered participants in the 2011 New Orleans Antiques Forum
Join us for an optional preconference tour of three magnificent early French residences in Pointe Coupee Parish that are not normally open to the public: Maison Chenal (late 18th century) and the LaCour House (mid-18th century), home to Dr. and Mrs. Jack D. Holden, and the LeJeune House (early 19th century), home to Mr. Randy Harelson and Mr. Richard Gibbs. Mary Cooper, an artisan, and Brian Costello, founding and current archivist of the Pointe Coupee Parish Library Historical Materials Collection, will serve as our guides, and Eugene Cizek, PhD, FAIA, will give a talk on early French architecture.
Buses will depart from the 300 block of Bienville Street in the French Quarter (the block of Bienville between the river and North Peters Street). We recommend that you park in Central Parking’s Sugar Lot, accessible from the 300 block of Conti Street (once again, between North Peters Street and the river) and walk to the bus on the Bienville side of the lot. Spaces are limited, and a prompt response is encouraged.
