Assumption Parish, Louisiana

Assumption Parish is down in south Louisiana, right in the heart of Cajun country. The parish seat is Napoleonville, a tiny town with a big personality.
Bayou Lafourche cuts through the parish, giving it that classic Louisiana feel. But the 14,000 natural lake, Lake Verret, is the real star. Fishing, boating, and swamp tours are just part of the daily rhythm here.
If you’re passing through, the Madewood Plantation House is definitely worth a stop. History runs deep here, and the stories of the past seem to linger in the air. It’s a place where time seems to move a little slower.
