Chauvin
Little Caillou, Terrebonne, Boudreaux Canal — these are some of the charming Cajun-French names you’ll see when driving to the small town of Chauvin.
Things to Do
Saltwater fishing outfitters in Chauvin and neighboring Cocodrie will take you out for a day of unforgettable casting — and almost assuredly, catching — in the abundant waters that surround the town. A decidedly different cultural attraction also awaits visitors to the fishing village. Named simply the Chauvin Sculpture Garden, this assemblage of religious art, crafted in concrete, is a monumental folk art masterpiece that has been attracting visitors for decades.
Places to Stay
To make the most of your stay, consider Grand Bayou Noir, A Chateau on the Bayou and Bouverans Bed and Breakfast.
Food
Savor a plate of CoCo Marina’s famous Wine Island shrimp, or a burger grilled to perfection at Dugey’s Deli.
Getting There
It's easy to navigate Chauvin — especially since the city is just over an hour from New Orleans. If you're flying into town, rent a car, hail a taxi or book a rideshare from the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
