Houmas House & Gardens
The stately grandeur of Houmas House is complemented by the flair of our guide , Ms . Judy Davis , who has a personality as magnificent as the mansion itself . As we arrive , we will be greeted on the riverbank to begin our private exploration through the gardens to the 16-room plantation home . Once inside , the velvet ropes are removed and permission is granted to use the home ’ s furniture for a truly authentic experience . During the excursion , she brings stories of the home ’ s many inhabitants to life through the unique collection of Louisiana art . After , you will have time to explore the gardens on your own .
