Destrehan!!! Was there too!!!! I'm sure you've been by San Francisco Plantation....it didn't look like that back in the early 70s. Oak Ally, Rosedown, Madewood, Pralange, etc etc. I had publicity photos taken with one of the owners of Houmas House (Whatever Happened to Baby Jane). I use to have a huge book, out of print now, Ghost Along the Mississippi, lost it in a divorce.
When I went back on 07, I couldn't get off the Interstate to catch the river road off the Huey P Long Bridge where I use to and I missed half the plantations I had visited before many times.
Doubt if I will ever get back down, would love too, great food, great music and a whole lot of History. I'm sure a line of As driving up the old River Road is quite a site.
BTW, a more recent movie filmed in NO and about was the Skeleton Key.
