A Jace & Maddie Adventure presents:
Treasure on the Bayou
Who would think jumping on a bed would land you in such big trouble. What started as some rainy day fun, ended in the sisters being thrown into a fearful adventure down in New Orleans. From a stately mansion turned restaurant with a ghostly secret, to a cemetery, to an alligator filled swamp, join the girls as they hunt for hidden treasure while trying to avoid modern day pirates and hungry alligators as they face the French quarter and Bayou on their own.

Mardi Gras
Muriel’s Ghost
Muriel’s restaurant is home to a historical ghost. Pierre Antoine Lepardi Jourdan lived in the home before it was a restaurant. He died in his home and ever since then there are reports that his ghost has been seen. The restaurant always has a table ready for him to use.
Lafayette Cemetery
New Orleans is a city that is below sea level. As a result it was impossible to bury people underground. The earliest settlers made marble chambers above ground to bury the family in. Each small building holds the remains of generations of a family.
President Andrew Jackson
President Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. As Ms. Crystal tells Jace and Maddie, “He was a very complicated man.” Like all people, he did bad things and good things. He has a statue in New Orleans for defending the city against a British attack.
Yeah, Can you imagine parades every day during Mardi Gras?
