While driving through Raceland, Louisiana looking for places to film, I stumbled across A Chateau on the Bayou.
I’ll be honest… I had never even noticed a bed and breakfast around here before. 😂 It caught my eye, so I pulled over and decided to do a little fly-around because it looked like a pretty interesting little place.
I don’t have any history on it, I don’t know the rates, and I have no idea who the owners are. This isn’t an advertisement — I just thought it was a cool little find.
In a world full of Airbnbs, it’s kind of refreshing to see an actual bed and breakfast right here in South Louisiana.
So I’m curious…
Have you ever stayed at Chateau on the Bayou? Would you stay there?

Did you know the Houma Golf Club, known by many locals as Colonial Acres, officially opened its fairways in 1982?
Designed by golf architect John Cooper, this public 9-hole course has been part of Houma for more than four decades, giving generations of locals a place to play, compete, and make memories.
But here's the cool part…
There was an earlier Houma Golf Club dating all the way back to 1928, which eventually became what many knew as Southern Oaks.
Two chapters of Houma golf history, separated by decades, but both leaving their mark on our community.
So the next time you pass these fairways, remember… you're looking at more than just a golf course. You're looking at a piece of Houma history. 🏌️‍♂️

I want to take a minute and talk about something that honestly weighs heavy on my heart.
Missing kids.
Somewhere right now, there’s a family waking up every morning without their child. There’s a mother wondering if her baby is safe. A father praying for a phone call. A brother or sister wondering when they’re coming home.
And the hardest part is that sometimes the rest of the world moves on.
I recently learned more about ShieldAVoice, and what they’re doing really hit me. They’re out there traveling from community to community, putting missing children’s faces and names in front of people, sharing cases, handing out flyers, and trying to make sure these kids dont become forgotten.
Think about that for a second.
A child shouldn't have to disappear from the world just because time has passed.
I know we all scroll past hundreds of posts every day. But what if one of those posts is the one that matters?
What if you share a missing child's picture and the person who sees it knows something?
What if that one share is what helps bring someone's child home?
I don't know about y'all, but I don't want to be the person who says, “I saw that post,” when I could have been the person who shared it.
So I'm asking y'all to do something simple.
Look. Share. Pay attention.
You never know whose life you might help change.
These aren't just pictures on a screen.
They're someone's child.
And they deserve to be remembered.
They deserve to be looked for.
They deserve to come home.
They need a voice.
Let's be that voice.
Please give them a follow on Tiktok. And help support the work they are doing. ❤️

Took the drone up over Lake Boeuf near Raceland and got a whole different view of this beautiful piece of South Louisiana.
Lake Boeuf has been part of the local landscape for generations. In the early 1900s, logging was a major industry in this area, and canals around the lake were built and used for drainage, transportation, and moving timber. Some of those old waterways helped shape the landscape we see today.
Today, the area is known for its freshwater fishing, wildlife, marsh and swamp habitat, with everything from sac-a-lait and bass to deer and waterfowl calling it home. 🎣🦆
A lot of history is still hiding back in these Louisiana swamps—you just have to get above it to see it.

Lake Fields is a shallow lake in South Louisiana, surrounded by marsh and open water. Covering roughly 2,300 acres, it averages about 3 feet deep and is part of the Lake Fields–Lake Long Game & Fish Preserve.

The lake connects through Company Canal, providing access toward Bayou Lafourche and nearby waterways. For generations, the area has been used for bass fishing, hunting, trapping and enjoying the wildlife that calls the marsh home.

Like much of coastal Louisiana, Lake Fields has changed over time. Drainage, marsh buildup, erosion and subsidence have all shaped the lake and its shoreline. The preserve was established in 1966 to help protect this unique part of the state.

Seen from above, the mix of water, marsh and wilderness gives a good sense of what makes South Louisiana so distinctive.

If you've ever driven through Raceland, chances are you've seen the massive sugar mill sitting along Bayou Lafourche. But that mill isn't just another industrial facility — it's been part of Lafourche Parish for more than 130 years.
Raceland Raw Sugar was built in 1892 under the ownership of Godchaux Sugars, tying it directly to the legendary Leon Godchaux and his Louisiana sugar empire.
Back then, sugarcane was one of the lifebloods of South Louisiana, and the Raceland factory helped turn the cane grown throughout the surrounding plantations into raw sugar. The mill has changed hands and evolved tremendously over the decades, but the sugarcane tradition never left.
In 1996, M. A. Patout & Son purchased the factory, and today Raceland Raw Sugar receives cane from seven neighboring parishes and has the capacity to grind around 15,000 tons of sugarcane a day.
Think about that for a second...
A sugar mill that's been operating in Raceland since 1892 is still processing Louisiana sugarcane today.
That's over a century of farmers, mill workers, families, machinery, harvest seasons and Louisiana history all tied to one place.
The next time you pass through Raceland and see that mill, you're not just looking at a factory.
You're looking at a piece of South Louisiana that's been here since the 1800s.

DES ALLEMANDS, LOUISIANA ⚜️
There’s something about Des Allemands that just feels like old Louisiana.
The name Des Allemands means “of the Germans,” dating back to the German settlers who made their way into this area in the early 1700s. Over the generations, German, French, Acadian, Creole and Cajun families built their lives around the bayous and waterways.
Long before highways connected communities, the water was the road. Bayou des Allemands and Lac des Allemands were the heart of everyday life — fishing, trapping, transportation and making a living all depended on these waters.
And if you know Des Allemands, you know one thing they’re especially proud of…
🐟 The Catfish Capital of the Universe.

Catfish has been a huge part of the community for generations, from commercial fishermen making their living on the bayou to the annual Catfish Festival celebrating the fish that helped put this little town on the map.
But Des Allemands is more than catfish.
It’s old bayous, fishing boats, family names, seafood, Cajun culture and generations of people who learned how to make a life around the water.
This is the kind of Louisiana that deserves to be remembered. ❤️⚜️

🚢 A closer look at the M/V COUNT FLEET
Caught this 72-foot towboat on camera and had to look into the story behind her. There’s more to this little powerhouse than meets the eye.
🐎 M/V Count Fleet was built by Eymard Marine Construction & Repair in Harvey, Louisiana, and delivered to Turn Services on June 19, 2019.
🔥 She packs 2,000 horsepower from twin Caterpillar C32 Tier 3 diesel engines — 1,000 HP each.
⚙️ Those engines turn Twin Disc MGX5321 reduction gears and 74-inch, four-blade stainless-steel propellers.
📏 She's 72 feet long and 30 feet wide, with accommodations for up to 6 crew members.
🌊 She was specifically built for towing on the Mississippi River and Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, including work involving the growing liquid and petrochemical barge market.
And the name?
🐎 Count Fleet was a legendary racehorse that won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes in 1943, becoming an American Triple Crown winner. Turn Services has continued that horse-racing tradition throughout much of its towboat fleet.
Pretty impressive amount of horsepower packed into a 72-foot boat. And this is exactly the kind of vessel you can see quietly working around South Louisiana while most people driving by have no idea what she's capable of.

If you’ve ever passed through Amelia and seen the Amelia Belle Casino sitting along Bayou Boeuf, you might not know that this riverboat has quite a history before ever making its way to St. Mary Parish.
The casino originally opened in July 1995 as Bally’s New Orleans Casino, operating from the New Orleans area. It was later renamed the Belle of Orleans.
Then came Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The storm seriously damaged the riverboat, including its engine room and casino equipment. Instead of being scrapped, plans were made to move the boat to a new location in South Louisiana.
After repairs in Mobile, Alabama, the riverboat was brought to Bayou Boeuf in Amelia. Local voters overwhelmingly approved allowing the casino to relocate to St. Mary Parish, and on May 18, 2007, the Amelia Belle officially opened its doors.
When it opened, the casino had more than 800 slot machines, 22 table games, a Cajun buffet, and around 425 employees.
And the story didn’t stop there. The Amelia Belle has changed ownership several times over the years, eventually becoming part of Boyd Gaming, which still operates the property today.
So the next time you see that big riverboat sitting in Amelia, remember — it didn't start here.
It survived one of the worst storms in Louisiana history, was repaired and relocated, and eventually found a new home right here in South Louisiana.
A little piece of Louisiana history floating on Bayou Boeuf. ⚓️

THREE BRIDGES. OVER 100 YEARS OF HISTORY. 🌉
From the air, you can really see how much history is packed into this stretch of the Atchafalaya River between Morgan City and Berwick.
🌉 Long–Allen Bridge — Built in 1933, this historic truss bridge carried the original U.S. 90 route across the river. It was named for Louisiana governors Huey P. Long and Oscar K. Allen. Today it carries LA 182, also known as the old U.S. 90.
🌉 E.J. “Lionel” Grizzaffi Bridge — The newer U.S. 90 crossing was built in the 1970s and opened in 1977, taking U.S. 90 traffic off the old Long–Allen Bridge.
🚂 Berwick Bay Railroad Bridge — The oldest of the three. The railroad crossing dates back to 1908, with a vertical-lift span added in 1969. It continues to serve the railroad and is also a working drawbridge for marine traffic.
Three bridges. Three different eras. One river that has helped shape Morgan City and the surrounding area for generations.
