Bonus Bite Are you traveling to Lafayette? Mouton Plantation, a seven-room B&B near downtown Lafayette, is a circa-1820 restored, raised Creole manor home in the Sterling Grove Historic District. The main plantation is surrounded by quaint cottages along an alley of ancient oak trees and surrounded by lush gardens. Comfortable and romantic, each room, some of which are pet-friendly, is decorated with old world furnishings offset by modern amenities — a large flat screen TV, WiFi, coffee maker, and refrigerator. Each night from 4:30 to 6:30 complimentary hors d’oeuvres and house libations are offered along with tours of the house. Special nights feature live music performances by the celebrated Louis Michot, and every day begins with a lavish breakfast from Chef Craig Kimball — think fresh Gulf shrimp and stone-ground grits and hot biscuits served with excellent fig preserves made in the plantation kitchen.
