Bissonet Plaza

Tucked between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish, Bissonet Plaza is a place whose character is shaped by the low, water-defined terrain of metropolitan New Orleans. This local area lies west of New Orleans proper, within the continuous residential and commercial fabric of the parish. Lake Pontchartrain, a vast brackish estuary, is the major geographic presence to the north, while the Mississippi has long guided settlement and transport across southeast Louisiana. Bissonet Plaza belongs to New Orleans’ cultural orbit of Carnival traditions, brass-band music and Creole-influenced cooking.
