351 St Marys Rd Ste. Geneviève, MO 63670 Call us at 573-747-1000 Open Saturdays 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. seasonally by request. Built in 1808, the Bequette-Ribault House, located across from Le Grand Champ or the “Big Field,” is an excellent example of “poteaux-en-terre” or “posts-in-the-earth” architecture. Ste. Geneviève is home to 3 out of 5 remaining such buildings. Poteaux-en-terre architecture is in reference to the vertical logs built directly into the ground without a foundation. The Bequette Ribault House was restored by Chaumette’s owners Hank and Jacque Johnson. In one of its outbuildings, a Hospitality Center features a tasting bar offering tastings and purchases of Chaumette’s award-winning wines. Public tours are typically available on Saturdays, from noon to 5 p.m. and from Memorial Day to October. Private tours on Saturdays can be arranged during the winter months by calling 573-747-1000.

Entry at 198 Market St Ste. Geneviève, MO 63670 Call us at 573.883.3105 Hours Open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 P.M. The Bolduc House was the home of Louis Bolduc, a French Creole merchant, built in the late 18th century in the unique French Creole vertical timber style of architecture.  It was restored in the 1950s to its 1790s appearance, and is a National Historic Landmark.  The house is fully furnished with original late 18th-early 19th century artifacts.  Guided tours also take guests into the LeMeilleur House next door, which was a home built around 1820 by one of Louis’ granddaughters. This also is furnished with original artifacts and illustrates how many aspects of life in this region changed within a relatively short time span, while other elements of Creole life did continue. Tours happen every hour on the half hour (except 12:30) and tickets for the house tours may be purchased at the campus gift shop inside the Centre for French Colonial Life at the corner of 2nd and Market Streets. Adult/$15, Student/$7. Free to the military with I.D. Call to schedule a group tour. Read more…
