QUINTESSENTIAL TOUT ENSEMBLE OFFERED FOR SALE

Dear Friends, 
It is my great pleasure to announce a world class property!  A French Creole tout ensemble: Maison Chenal, LaCour House and the Holden Collection of Antiques and Art are for sale in Pointe Coupée Parish, Louisiana.

Indisputably, this is the most important collection of Louisiana French Creole and Acadian decorative arts, furniture, portraits, and architecture in the WORLD! The collection reflects the extraordinarily rich international cultural transference from France, Canada, Spain, Africa, the Carribean, Mexico, England, and native America that emerged in the Mississippi River Valley from the early 18th century to about 1830. 

The Holden Collection represents a lifetime of connoisseur collecting, with a keen focus, shared by Dr. and Mrs. Jack D. Holden. It has been their passion to preserve French Creole and Acadian culture in situ. 

About 1,400 objects, made or used in Louisiana, comprise the Holden Collection. The real estate consists of 75 acres of mature landscape on a waterway with access to False River.  

I am proud that the Holdens have been my mentors for most of my life; I could not have asked for any better.

I am also excited that Garden & Gun Magazine is featuring Maison Chenal, LaCour House, the gardens and the Holden Collection in this August/September 2019 issue - just released!
You are invited to view the extensive Property Information Packet. Additionally,
just below the packet, there's also "The Book," 
Maison Chenal & LaCour House Properties and Collections: A French Creole Tout Ensemble, 
for even more history details.  
​

​This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to possess the quintessential French Creole tout ensemble offered at $3,850,000. 

My best from Bourbon Street,
Peter W. Patout

Potential buyers must provide financial qualification before showing.

I’m humbled and in awe of my parents lifetime work: to preserve the early French Creole culture of Louisiana. So many memories! And it’s been a wonderful family journey along the way. Now in their advanced years, their primary interest is grandkids and family.
Please read my mom’s note and share this post to learn about their dream, and this amazing estate that’s now for sale.
Note from Mom...
It is now time for us to part with our Maison Chenal, Lacour House Properties and our collections of early Louisiana related material culture. We hope a new owner will appreciate the significance of the assemblage of buildings and objects in the context of Louisiana’s complicated historical past and its promising future.
It is our fondest wish and somewhat emotionally laden dream to be able to pass the complex on as a whole - a tout ensemble.

The property information packet and "The Book" are both free. Go to their respective links, download and print out, The property information which includes an overview of the Holden Collection contains about 50 pages and is on letter sized paper. The Book is about 75 pages and is on legal size paper. Many items in the Holden Collection are also highlighted in the book: Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735–1835.

I came across this on facebook. The pictures took my breath away. Such a beautiful home. The collections from the past is something you don't see very often. Thank you to the Holden family for preserving the French Creole culture of Louisiana.

... and I'd read JK Toole , E. Burke, W Faulkner and EJ Gaines drinking iced tea below the front porch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I kept such a precious memory of my trip to louisiana that I often look on the WEB for houses for sale, even if already in advanced age I will stay in France .
I saw this amazing house which looks like " Plantation Laura" at Vacherie that I visited in 2015.
I hope that there will be an intelligent and open owner or a public administration (City, Museum) to preserve this historical jewel and to open it to the visitors.
It would make a very beautiful Museum that would encourage the visitors to go beyond Baton Rouge to Saint Francisville and Jarreau.
