Join us Oct. 22 at 6:30 p.m. as we transform our cafe into a French bistro and transport diners to southern France during our bimonthly wine dinner. Inspired by wines from the old world, traditional French countryside, our Tour de France will include a six-course meal, pairing culinary delights with wine samples from the region. Wild game, low-fat and nutritionally impressive, is popular in France, not to mention South Louisiana, especially during this time of year, so our feast features seared fois gras, fresh rabbit charcuterie, and other delicacies along with French cheeses.

Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased at our customer service counter or by calling 225-615-7800. Seating is limited.
