 I became aware of our rich culinary culture early on having grown up in Bayou Teche Country, Patoutville, just next door to New Iberia. Our family was filled with great cooks. Simple backyard gatherings, crab boils this time of the year, often become incredible feasts.
The pleasures of the table, and how it evokes friendly conversation and develops lifelong friendships is a tradition I carry forth in my life. Sometimes I post pics on social media capturing these traditions. Are you enjoying blueberries and peaches these days? Has peach cobbler always been this good? Fittingly, New Iberia and Natchez get their due in this short list of tasteful small southern towns in Forbes Magazine (click for story).I'm glad for the Tabasco shout-out, which is like adding sunshine to a meal, and over in Natchez, Regina Charboneau gets her due. I encourage you to visit all the restaurants featured, and to bring a friend. Bon Appetit!

 Be well and safe through these challenging times.
I wear a mask and encourage others to do the same. Sara & Paul Costello experience Maison Chenal Just this weekend, writer & interior decorator Sara Ruffin Costello and her husband and photographer Paul Costello visited my Maison Chenal listing. It was an exquisite outing as so much was in full bloom. The parterre gardens and ancient oaks add much to the 18th century French Creole setting. See my listing here!  Paul generously agreed to share his photos! You might also enjoy Sara's and Paul's instagram posts as their friends excitedly chimed in desirous of purchasing the estate, with lots of entertaining ideas to celebrate together. I've received a few property queries since. The tranquil setting inspires!

          What a delightful morning to wake up and see Hubbs House as the featured home in Sunday's paper!
While the story isn't available with the online news edition, I hope these photos are legible...."This listing would make such a charming and rustic getaway from the hustle & bustle of the city," and I couldn't agree more! Here's the link to more Hubbs House details. Please also reach out to me to learn more. Enjoy the Blooms!  Through this difficult time, I hope you are well. I'm writing to share a few things that lift my spirit in hopes that I can help lift yours. The incomparable beauty of the south, our rich history & culture, phenomenal cuisine, my dear friends and family, and my faith buoy me through challenging times. I'm even upbeat about the market for historic homes, and I'm excited that my listings are featured in 2 national news stories! I appreciate your allowing me to share that good news. And, I'm not going anywhere. Please reach out to me. Call me on my cell (504) 481-4790, or send me an email: peter@peterpatout.com to help you purchase or sell historic homes in Louisiana and Mississippi.

It needed to happen! Natchez in full-bloom is sublime!
I founded the event last year, our first year, and along with the help of dedicated Master Gardeners and other volunteers, this Festival came to life. We also honored the memory of Sally Ballard, who planted 2,000 Crepe Myrtles in the year 2000! Natchez has a long history of citizens committed to the beautification of the town - and it shows! This celebration amongst the blooms is a wonderful respite. Read about our SUCCESSFUL DEBUT that story is located on the Press page of this site: scroll down the page to view.
