Cecil Lapeyrouse Grocery in Chauvin has been open since 1914. Cecil's grandfather Gustave opened the business which evolved from serving more permanent residents to catering to a more seasonal crowd. In 1914, Gustave ran an oyster shucking house and shrimp drying stand next to the grocery stores which eventually was phased out. [29] A new phase to the store is Mrs. Etta's antique collection which consist of pots, pans, kitchen utensils, bottles, and dishes of all types. One of her favorite pieces in the stores is an old wooden butcher shop display case. [03] If interested stop in for a visit at this one of kind store and enjoy all of it's hidden treasurers.![09]

Enjoy this beautiful location and look for a medium size birdhouse hidden in one of the trees on the property.
