BONFIRE ADVENTURE...
Join in the celebration of a time honored Louisiana tradition - the "feux de joie" (fires of joy) along the banks of the Mississippi River.

For many years, the Cajuns have built mammoth structures out of wood and set them ablaze on Christmas Eve to light "Papa Noel's" way down to the bayous.

Join our BONFIRE ADVENTURE as we travel to Destrehan Plantation for a guided tour of this original "indigo" plantation. You'll also have the opportunity to see period craft demonstrations of open hearth cooking. Your tour guide entertains you with a history of Plantation Country and serves eggnog as you travel to the banks of the Mississippi.

Enjoy some local cuisine at an old fashioned Cajun country party by the river before viewing the lighting of the bonfires.

Dress is casual, wear comfortable shoes.

This is a guided motorcoach tour with some walking required (approximately 8-10 blocks).
