If you plan to set off on this U.S. road trip, you'll want to split your time between the different states. So, make sure you give yourself some extra time in Louisiana to truly appreciate the stunning Oak Alley home. Giant oak trees pave the way to a grand plantation home that offers a Civil War exhibit and the famous Sugarcane Theater, and it's something everyone must experience at least once.
If that's not your style, however, you'll be happy to know that New Orleans is just a 56-minute drive away, offering you a Mardi Gras vibe and plenty of places to stay while you embrace the eclectic culture.
