About Bayou Gauche

Bayou Gauche is a quiet, tight-knit community tucked away among the waterways of St. Charles Parish's West Bank. Home to around 2,100 residents, this scenic fishing village offers a classic south Louisiana lifestyle where daily life revolves around the water. Elevated homes and camps line the bayou banks, complete with docks and easy access to local boat launches for fishing, crabbing, and exploring the surrounding marshlands. Families moving here also benefit from the well-regarded St. Charles Parish public school district, with elementary and middle school campuses located just up the road in neighboring Paradis.
