Houmas House was established in the late 1700s. The main house is known as the "Sugar Palace" and consists of 16 rooms filled with period furnishings and Louisiana artwork.

Outside, visitors can enjoy 38 acres of gardens, several ponds, and an elegant lane lined with magnificent old oak trees. Guided tours of the house and grounds are available, and guests can arrange to be picked up in the French Quarter for an additional fee.
