There are some amazing trees in New Orleans, there is no doubt about that. But if you continue down St. Bernard Hwy past Chalmette, you are in for a real treat. This part of the road is one of the most beautiful in the entire city.
If you haven’t discovered this beautiful tunnel of trees yet, you are in for a treat.

The tree tunnel here was a place that many were hoping wasn’t ruined during Hurricane Katrina.

The trees line the way along Meraux Foundation’s Docville Farms, which is an amazing event and community oriented venue in St. Bernard Parish.
