Grand Coteau

Natural beauty and progressive economic impact define Grand Coteau today.

The beautiful landscape, courtly trees and underlying religious dedication indeed emphasize the “Grand” in Grand Coteau. While there are many locations throughout the country on the National Register of Historic Places, few are there for their natural beauty, like the Grand Coteau Historic District. Majestic trees, groves and gardens complement more than 70 significant structures. The shrine of the Miracle of Grand Coteau at the Academy of the Sacred Heart headlines the broad range of architecture to tour. The celebration of life extends to local culinary talents, culminating with October’s Sweet Dough Pie Festival, which reflects Grand Cotuea’s status as Louisiana’s Sweet Dough Pie Capital.

Grand Coteau driven by enlightened economic focus

Grand Coteau has one of the parish’s most progressive economic development districts. Located at the intersection of I-49 and State Hwy 93, Grand Coteau offers a gateway to the cultural amenities of southern Louisiana. The resulting prosperous business district offers both a source for services and products but also an incubator for the innovative ideas of local entrepreneurs.
