Royal Carriages Activities

Royal Carriages was started in 1941 by Clem and Violet Lauga, with one horse and carriage. Jim and Carolynn Lauga continued this family-run New Orleans tradition for over 35 years. With a legacy of over 81 years of experience in the New Orleans tourism industry, Royal Carriages is a family-run business and the oldest sightseeing carriage company in America. All our mules receive at least 3-6 months of vacation per year on one of our two lovely farms, one in Covington, Louisiana and the other in Poplarville, Mississippi countryside. We usually stable about 34 mules here in the city and the balance are kept on pasture. Royal Carriages prides itself on providing our guests with that personal touch. I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on your visit to New Orleans. We invite you to visit us on your next visit to the French Quarter, and hope your stay in NOLA is a memorable one!
