Madeleine Cenac's House

DAY 7

Ed Cazayoux, who gave us a tour of the French Chateau Tower also gave us a tour of these houses. This house is from the 1840s and was moved here from another site. Originally, this house did not have plumbing or electricity. This style of house would have the boys upstairs and the girls bedroom would be downstairs attached to the masters bedroom. I also found a link to an article on this house as well called Bayou Beauty.

If I remember correctly I think that Madeleine's son is a metal sculpture artist and has sculptures all over the site.

There was no one home at the time but this dog (who I've named James) came out to meet us. Just like Charles the cat, he came out from no where.

Chateau Tower

DAY 7

This tower in the Breaux Bridge area of Louisiana is actually a house that was constructed in a French style. It is hidden down a private road in the forest and the only reason that we are able to see it is because we had an escort. What is also cool about it is that there is a moat surrounding the tower which has ALLIGATORS and turtles living in it. Unfortunately the owner of the building was in France while we were there so we were not able to go inside.

This is a view of the only way into the building because of the mote.
