Lake Charles
Private Jet Charter

After it survived the ‘Great Fire of 1910,’ Lake Charles built itself back up providing timber and later on in the mid-1900s into a thriving industrial town refining petrochemicals.

Much of the timber harvested in Lake Charles became the floors and foundations of gorgeous Victorian homes. Take a little drive into the Charpentier Historic District and you may see a picturesque moment from the past, such as a few friends sipping lemonade on a veranda, fanning themselves a little cooler from the Louisiana humidity.

Humidity is relatively high and so it is suggested that ideal times to visit are between mid-February to early May, or early October to late November.

Downtown Lake Charles, with its historic turn of the century architecture, regularly welcomes the feet of festival-goers. As a traveler, you’re likely to be swept up and lose yourself in the buzzing energy of one festival or another. Definitely step inside the fabulous shops for a unique gift and say yes to the food (your tastebuds will be impressed with you)!

Clearly, festivals are on the ‘to-do’ list here. There are too many to list them all, so here are just a few to entice you:

• Mardi Gras Mambo
• Black Heritage Festival
• Louisiana Winter Beer Festival
• Louisiana Pirate Festival

There are some places in the world to visit that are known for its food, and Lake Charles in the south-west of Louisiana is one of them! Warming you from the inside-out with its special mix of spices, Cajun and Creole cuisine balances out the humid heat that warms you from the outside-in. If you want to join the conversation called, “where did you eat?,” then bookmark this list:

• Restaurant Calla
• La Truffe Sauvage
• Darrell’s Famous Poboys
• Steamboat Bill’s

“Are you a gambling man?” sounds good in a southwestern drawl, and Lake Charles is home to some of the best gambling in America:

• L’Auberge Casino Resort
• Golden Nugget Casino

All that humidity is good for the golf courses too. Among some of the most beautiful in the country is Gray Plantation Golf & Sports Club. Museums and galleries pay homage to Louisiana’s second largest Mardi Gras festival. The Mardi Gras Museum of Imperial Calcasieu is where the rich history of Mardi Gras is a feast for the eyes.

The Lake Charles Symphony regularly plays at the Rosa Hart Theatre. If you happen to miss them, perhaps a ballet will captivate you.

The charm of Lake Charles is in its people, who carry their culture in their day-to-day movements. They’re experts at keeping their heritage alive in architecture, festivals, food and performing arts. Your experience awaits with charter flights to Lake Charles.
