Just FYI...(from Wikipedia)
One of the worst natural disasters in United States history struck Louisiana on August 29, 2005. Hurricane Katrina struck and did severe damage to all of Southeast Louisiana. Martial law was declared in Plaquemines until September 12, 2005. No place escaped without some damage, while most of the rest of Plaquemines, Orleans and neighbouring St. Bernard Parish were severely hit; Pointe a la Hache, Port Sulphur, Buras-Triumph, Empire, Boothville-Venice, and Venice, Louisiana suffered tremendous damage. Amidst heavy rains accompanied by hurricane force winds in excess of 150 mph at initial landfall (with a Category 5 storm surge), the federal levees failed and broke, and the storm surge that flowed in was more than 20 feet (6.1m) high. Although a good majority of the populace did heed mandatory evacuation orders, many did not. At least three residents died.


From the parish president on the parish govenment website:
"We have undergone great devastation in our parish due to Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Each day I witness the destruction of every community in Plaquemines Parish. It is heart wrenching to see what has happened to the place we call home. Please know that everyone in this government is working hard to restore services so that you can perhaps begin again in Plaquemines Parish. This will not be an overnight process. We are looking at years of recovery."

You will find a few hotels in Belle Chase. Plan on staying somewhere on the westbank, Gretna, Algiers, Marrero, etc.

Bring a tent, water and food if you want to stay anywhere south of Belle Chase.
