Things to Do

Saltwater fishing outfitters in Chauvin and neighboring Cocodrie will take you out for a day of unforgettable casting. 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 the Fairfax House or Mary’s RV Park or commercial options like Best Western Forest Inn.

Food

Savor a homestyle plate lunch at Annie Mae’s on the Bayou or a Chinese dish at City Buffet.

Getting There

It's easy to navigate Franklin — especially since the city is just under two hours 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.
