Mon Reve is a French Creole plantation built before the Civil War around 1850. Constructed of cypress, old brick and bouisilage (mud, moss, and horse hair), it has a spectacular front gallery overlooking False River.

False river is a horse shoe or ( oxbow ) lake formed in 1722 when the Mississippi River changed its course, leaving a lake. The french residents of that time named it “Fausse River” or ( false river ).

Mon Reve ( my dream in French ) was named by my great grandmother, Marie Belzons Siebert, for her love of the house.

Come see why she felt this way about this grand and authentic old home.
