More information on Bienville Place

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This small park is big on European style, with three monstrous oaks and a marble statue of the city's founder, French-Canadian Jean Baptiste Sieur de Bienville. The statue is accompanied by a French priest, Father Athanase who accompanied Bienville on his landing. There is also an Indian chief who is said to have welcomed them when they landed just a few blocks from this site in 1718. Bienville claimed the land as the first colony of Louisiana.
