This Week’s Travel Inspiration: Eve’s Bayou

I was flipping through TV stations last week and came across 1997’s Eve’s Bayou. I was immediately reminded that it is one of the truly great travel inspiring movies. The movie, starring Samuel L Jackson, is about the Batiste family, the secrets they keep and the betrayals they have had to endure in rural Louisiana.

Eve’s Bayou was filmed primarily in Covington, LA though some scenes were also filmed in Madisonville & Napoleonville. The film’s gracious homes and moss draped Louisiana backwater exemplify the drama that draws so many visitors to the south each year. Watching the film, one can’t help but to long for a warm, sultry, southern summer night.
