STE. GENEVIEVE – Missouri’s oldest permanent European settlement, Ste. Genevieve was settled by French Canadians back around 1735.
Visiting today, you’ll be transported back to those times, as the town has preserved the original structures and fenced gardens that formed the village.
Add in the arts scene that began here in the 1930s and continues to today – as well as famed local wineries, distilleries and restaurants – and you’ll likely decide that Ste. Genevieve is a true bucket-list American destination.
