Are you loving these historic southern homes as much as I am?! I think I’m going to just have to plan a southern tour and hit them all. Wouldn’t that be the best trip ever?!
Today I want to introduce you to Bocage Plantation. This American Greek Revival, built in 1837, is nestled on over 100 acres along the Mississippi River in Darrow, LA between New Orleans and Baton Rouge (very near to Houmas House). The interior blends Creole design with contemporary mid-19th century motifs. It now serves as an elegant and exclusive bed and breakfast, with only 4 rooms available for overnight guests.
Bocage is relatively new to the touring scene. It wasn’t until Dr. Marion Rundell purchased the house in 2008 that it was opened to the public. The antique furniture and art in this estate is 100% era-appropriate and absolutely stunning.

Yes! You should definitely do a plantation tour trip and stay in one of these B&B rooms. The bedrooms are breathtaking as are all the chandeliers, medallions and colors combinations. The blue porch ceiling reminded me of my Key West days. All the porch ceilings in town were painted blue so wasps won’t nest there. It really does work. Thanks for sharing.

We heard about the blue porch ceilings a lot when we were working on our house. But as avid UNC haters, we just couldn’t do it! ;)
Wow, they always remind me of ‘Gone With The Wind’!
