I visit the Pitot house and show you the beautiful home on Bayou St. John in New Orleans, La.
The Pitot House site is located on the area’s oldest European settlement, founded 10 years prior to Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville’s founding of New Orleans. In 1708, Bienveille granted land along Bayouc Choupic to several Frenchmen from Mobile, then the seat of government for the Louisiana colony. Despite efforts to grow wheat and tobacco, they had no understanding of marshy soil conditions. Only Antione Rivard de Lavigne, upon whose 2-1/2 arpents the Pitot House stands, remained and cultivated farmland.
