Can You Tell Me The Big Advantage Of Staying In St. Francisville Itself
Rather Than Out In The Country (like a Plantation)?
___________________________________________________
The advantage of staying in the town is that you are right in the center of everything. Fantastic shops, restaurants and museums are just down the street!
When you're staying out in the country (like on a plantation) you have to get in your car and drive to do anything. By staying in the town itself, you avoid all that hassle. That's a huge advantage right there.
For example, Grandmother's Buttons, one of the most unique shops in the entire country, is only a few steps away.Plus, Barrow House Inn is actually not one, but two 200-year old houses in the heart of a historic district straight from the pages of a fairy tale. Around the houses, the beautiful antebellum houses and churches, huge moss-draped live oaks and 50 camelia trees (when in bloom) all make for a truly unforgettable experience.
St. Francisville is a half-mile from the banks of the Mississippi River, and surrounding West Feliciana Parish is one of the prettiest and most unspoiled areas in the South. Driving distance is just 2 hours North of New Orleans' French Quarter, 1 1/2 hours East of Lafayette, 1 hour South of Natchez, MS, and 264 hours West from Timbuktu.
