We drove to this home and parked easily in the dedicated car park. We took a guided tour (which is on the hour) of a gorgeous home. Our tour guide, Joseph, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Longue Vue is grand but not in the sense of some of the grand plantation homes/houses in Southern Louisiana. Longvue is a city estate... More

I remembered loving this place when I last visited in the 90s. This time around, I found the gardens unimpressive and somewhat unkempt. The tour guide in the house seemed tired and gave only brief information about each room. We asked questions and found out more interesting facts that should have just been shared upfront. I'd recommend skipping in favor... More

We toured this lovely home and its spectacular Spring gardens on the City & Estate Tour with Tours by Isabelle. Our guided tour was very informative and a highlight of the afternoon. This Classical Revival style home was the vision of Edgar and Edith Stern. The gardens were designed by Landscape Architect Ellen Biddle Shipman (1866-1950). The house amazingly contains... More

On Friday, I visited Longue Vue with a toddler that I care for. During check in at the gift shop, the clerk suggested the discovery garden designed for children. She mentioned that there was a school group in that day, so one of the buildings would be occupied by them. The children's area is wonderful. My toddler picked up a... More

This is a must see stop for any N O visitor. It was hard hit by Katrina flooding has since made a come back.

This is a nice house with interesting details. We were the only 2 on the tour so we got a couple extra sneak peeks. Bit of a walk from the trolley station if anyone decides to take that route.

We called and made a mid week appointment to tour the house on a day off from work. We were able to get a private tour of the house and gardens. The docent was extremely knowledgeable about the house and period, and walked us through the house and grounds for over 2 hours. She answered all questions we had, and... More

We were first time visitors to Longue Vue House. The visit started with a surprise and got better. While chatting with the wonderful lady at the entrance we learned that Edith Stern's father was the famous Julius Rosenwald who worked with Booker T. Washington to build over 4,000 schools for poor black children in the south. Inside and out the... More

Actually having lived in south Louisiana all my life, I'd never been to Longue Vue but that didn't mean it wasn't on the bucket list. The gardens were delightful even in the fall when there wasn't a profusion of blooming plants. Still, there were fruit trees laden with colorful, ripening fruit and some late blooming plants. I think the gardens... More
