Covington Christmas Carriage Rides to Change Location

Posted by on November 19, 2021

Our hearts go out to Harvey Marsolan and the Marsolan Feed and Seed Store Family on the devastating loss of their historic and iconic Feed Store in Downtown Covington, LA. Harvey was so gracious to allow Royal Carriages to operate from his store. Due to the total loss from the fire, we have moved our operations to Once In Awhile - Green Eyed Goddess Gifts located at 226 East Lockwood Street in Downtown Covington.  
We want to thank the owner Pam Miley and The Miley Family for allowing us to operate from their store on such short notice.
Make sure you stop in and see all the unique gifts in their store and be sure to pick up a coffee before or after your carriage ride.

I am a local and had friends in from Arizona. In our climate walking in the Quarter in the heat of summer can be difficult. Their time here was limited so I decided to book the private 1-hour carriage ride. Very good choice! So glad we did. Our guide Thiebaud was knowledgeable and funny. We also chatted with another driver while waiting to be picked up. She was very helpful and you could tell she really loved her mule. The mules are cleaned and well cared for. They give them snacks, water, and breaks. Our mule was Blue and he liked carrots. I am a New Orleanean and I learned a few things and was reminded of some I forgot! We did the Quarter and The area around Frenchmen Street. Afterward, we ate lunch at Antoine's. It was a wonderful day I won't soon forget! A splurge but well worth every penny. Thanks, guys!
