5:00pm - 10:00pm - Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler
Let the good times roll as you experience the true treasures
Southwest Louisiana has to offer! We begin our journey with a short
bus trip from L’Auberge du Lac Resort to the Matilda Geddings Gray
Mansion on Shell Beach Drive in Lake Charles. Upon your arrival
you’ll be greeted with true southern hospitality as the Barbe High
School jazz ensemble provides the ambiance for a southern-style
cocktail and hors d’oeuvres party on the grounds of the Gray
Mansion. After a tour of the mansion, a plantation style home, we
will board buses for the Lake Charles Civic Center where our
discovery of more Southwest Louisiana treasures will be uncovered.
Prepare to embark on a boat tour of Lake Charles with the Lake
Charles Buccaneers, possible descendents of the famous pirate, Jean
Lafitte. Be captivated by the treacherous tales of the mythical
voyages of Lafitte and his band of treasure seeking pirates. Learn
about numerous other cultural and historical aspects surrounding the
lore and legend that makes Southwest Louisiana a destination truly
worthy of another visit.
As we disembark at L’Auberge du Lac following our thirty minute boat
trip, we will be greeted by the Mardi Gras Revelers who will lead us
to the next step in our journey to uncover the treasures in
Southwest Louisiana. Be prepared to party Louisiana style at the
Fais Do Do sponsored by Dell Computers! Watch the Cajun French Music
Association dance team wow the crowd with their bona fide Cajun
dance moves. And…if you are willing…you can learn a few steps
yourself! The evening Fais Do Do will end with the Chris Miller band
playing authentic Louisiana Cajun music for your dancing and
listening pleasure…you won’t want to miss this!
Buses depart at 4:30 pm from L’Auberge du Lac Resort for the Gray
Mansion tour and cocktail party. Please dress very casually for
these outdoor events. |
