Salvation in Louisiana
By the banks of Bayou Chenal, in a parish adjacent to Baton Rouge, a couple care for a unique homage to the Acadian and Creole lifestyles. Along a meandering Louisiana roadway, beyond a pathway of slender oak trees and past an age-old split-cypress fence, flourishes a garden.
Free range life
A punkah ceiling fan in the kitchen building of Maison Chenal wards off the flies.
The dovecote
A carved wardrobe and a tall Canadian buffet grace the space, adorned with baskets skillfully crafted by Native Americans in Louisiana and French pewter candlesticks.
