Dreyfus House B & B

In the 1850's, Cornelius and Rosa Dreyfus Gumble chose a picturesque spot on Bayou Grosse Tete to build their family home and establish their livelihood.  Generations of the Dreyfus family lived in this beautiful home and operated the Dreyfus General Store adjacent to the house.  Rosa's cousins Theodore and Blondina Dreyfus have operated the store since 1880 and purchased the house and store in 1900.  Theo and Blondina raised their children, Rosina, Max, Mabel, Alfred, and Henry in the charming house on the bayou and continued the tradition of South Louisiana hospitality and gracious living that is featured today in the Dreyfus House and Dreyfus Store Restaurant which now occupies the General Store building.  The rich heritage represented both in the store and in the family home has been preserved and the public is now invited to enjoy what the Dreyfuses and their customers, friends and family have appreciated for over 140 years.
