Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana

Pointe Coupee Location Map Louisiana

Pointe Coupee Parish sits along the winding Mississippi River in south-central Louisiana. It’s a place where history and nature intertwine.

The parish got its name from the French, meaning “cut point,” thanks to an oxbow lake formed by the mighty river.

New Roads, the parish seat, hosts a wild Mardi Gras celebration that rivals those in bigger cities. False River, that oxbow lake I mentioned earlier, is a hot spot for water sports and lazy weekend getaways.
