Groups
We anticipate showcasing Louisiana’s River Parishes to senior, international, student, and all types of affinity group travelers. Our Creole and Cajun heritages fused together have created a distinct southern culture and presents a collection of gems, extending along the east and west banks of the Mississippi River. Out Here, roots go deeper, like the depths of the river, whose waters are filled with stories waiting to be told. Narratives about the plantation life are interesting and infinite, and the creation of food, like Andouille, has a mixture of local carious versions. Tales about the bayous and swamps in Lake Des Allemands are distinct and diverse, and the formation of Perique Tabacco and Kicking Mule Rum have their own unique stories.
Visit us #Out Here. We have so much to tell you!
