St. Francisville Historic District

About

St. Francisville feels less like a town than a set—a moss-draped antebellum district perched on Louisiana's Tunica Hills bluffs above the Mississippi, its streets lined with plantation houses, Victorian cottages, and a historic cemetery that provided scenes for Interview with the Vampire. Louisiana Entertainment promotes St. Francisville for its extraordinary concentration of antebellum and Victorian residential architecture in a natural setting of particular drama: live oaks draped in Spanish moss, magnolias, and the Gulf Coast light that cinematographers travel specifically to capture. The nearby Rosedown Plantation and its formal gardens add formal landscape options unavailable elsewhere, while the surrounding Audubon country provides quick access to bottomland hardwood forest.
