Come bask in the pleasant climate of Assumption Parish.
Our natural lakes and bayous such
as Lake Verret, Bayou Lafourche, Belle River and Pierre Part offer great fishing and camping as
well as other outdoor recreation. Year-round festivals offer the flavor of the South with
delicious food and arts & crafts. The Madewood Arts Festival and Antebellum Christmas, held on
the grounds of Madewood Plantation, are two of many. In addition to Madewood, there are several
other historical structures to view, for the roots of Assumption Parish are buried deep in the
past. St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, with its unusual frescoes, Christ Episcopal Church, with
its beautiful stained-glass windows, and St. Philomena Catholic Church and Cemetery are all
works of art as well as centers of religious worship. The present, too, makes itself known
here, with tours available to Supreme Sugars Refinery and three raw sugar mills in Belle Rose,
Paincourtville, and Napoleonville.
