Self-drive to New Orleans Area Plantations?
We are visiting New Orleans from 12/25-12/31 and want to see some plantations while we are there. We would rather not take a packaged tour and are wondering if it is possible to rent a car and go on our own or if the devastation from Katrina still makes this difficult. We know it is about an hour from New Orleans along the Great River Road but we are not sure if this would be advisable or not. Your thoughts?
