There is a place in Vacherie, Louisiana where you can witness a majestic alley of Oaks.

And that’s where that photo was taken… It’s not CGI, it’s the real deal!

“Oak Alley Plantation is an historic plantation located on the Mississippi River in the town of Vacherie, Louisiana, United States of America. It is protected as a National Historic Landmark. It is named after its distinguishing feature, an alley of a double row of live oaks about 240-meter long, which was planted in the early 18th century, long before the present house was built. The alley leads towards the Mississippi River.

The mansion on the plantation was built by George Swainy between 1837 and 1839 for Jacques Telesphore Roman. Jacques father-in-law, Joseph Pilie, was an architect and is considered the likely designer. The mansion has a square floor plan, organized around a central hall that runs from the front to the rear on both floors. The outside features a free-standing colonnade of 28 Doric columns (on all 4 sides), a common feature among the mansions in the Mississippi Valley at the time.”
