I will have only one day available in New-Orleans in my meeting schedule, and I thought I%26#39;d treat myself to a few hours of ';Gone with the Wind'; sightseeing.
I read that there are tours that offer just that. I thank you in advance for any recommendation you may have.
Swamp and Mansion Tour ?
You may enjoy tours of the Garden District. The large plantation homes like Tara in GWTW are well out of the city and may be tough to do with your limited time!
Swamp and Mansion Tour ?
Correct me if I%26#39;m wrong, but I was reading in Frommer%26#39;s 2007 there is a house in the garden district that was modeled after Tara from GWTW. I didn%26#39;t get a chance to go find it, but maybe you could get some guidebooks.
Also, if you%26#39;re a big fan of GWTW, the first time I was there I bought a GWTW purse from the french market...I actually brought it back out last week and you wouldn%26#39;t believe how many compliments I get!
Thank you!

I found my guidebook about the house that was built to replicate Tara. The address is 5705 St. Charles Ave.
The listing says, ';A replica built from the plans of the movie set of Gone with the wind, Tara seems almost dwarfed here by far more sumptuous homes'; But I%26#39;m sure it%26#39;s still worth checking out
The house is owned privately and not on any tour and please don%26#39;t walk around their private yard taking pictures of their house. You may take pictures from the sidewalk...a better shot is from across the street for the full house unless you have a special lens.

that%26#39;ll hook you up with everything you%26#39;re looking for including the Oak Valley plantation tour.
Id recommend the 6 person fan boat swamp tour . . .
