Also, for haunted plantations (since that's a huge thing in Louisiana), here's what I found about those in the Lafayette area:
From here (http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/louisiana/louisiana-plantationst). On the road west from New Orleans toward Lafayette you can find more Southern Louisiana plantation homes like the amazing Madewood Plantation built in 1846, with gorgeous rooms filled with antiques. It operates as a bed and breakfast, so you can spend the night in Southern luxury and enjoy a mint julep on the veranda.
Another one of the amazing Southern Louisiana plantations is the Chretien Point Plantation, 15 minutes north of Lafayette. Also operating as a bed and breakfast there are many antiques decorating the rooms and original painting on the walls of its first inhabitants. It was built in 1831 and today operates as a bed and breakfast on 20 secluded acres.
There are several other plantation homes that dot the countryside in this great state. Feel free to explore and take advantage of the plantation home tours on your next Louisiana vacation.
As you can tell, there's even more in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Anyway, enjoy your stay, even if it's humid as sin here.
