Christmas at Coteau

Every year, The Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau offers a little Christmas cheer, holiday shopping, and amazing local cuisine. This is the perfect opportunity to view the gorgeous, sacred grounds which includes the Alley of the Oaks. At the Holiday Market, shoppers have first selection from as many as 75 unique vendors offering antiques, estate jewelry, Christmas accessories, handmade items, artwork, children’s apparel, and home and garden accessories. There will be French caroles, prayers sung by the students at the Academy and Berchmans as well as a raffle and tours of the Shrine, the site of the only Vatican-recognized miracle in America.

The Christmas at Coteau Preview Party, Christmas Under the Oaks, will feature vendors for holiday shopping as well as restaurants showcasing their culinary skills. Participating restaurants include, Ruth’s Chris, Zea, Pamplona, Ruffino’s on the River, Tsunami, Pour, Le Triomph, and French Press. A transportation option is available from Lafayette to Grand Coteau. The amazing food does not stop with the preview party, however. The gourmet luncheon always features delicious local cuisine and will be catered this year by Ruffino’s on the River.
