Mandeville Lakefront
Mandeville
The Mandeville Lakefront, 1834. This passive park, about one mile in length, was set apart by protective covenant by the town’s founder, Jean Bernard Xavier Phillippe de Marigny de Mandeville (1785-1868). On Lake Pontchartrain (so named in 1699 by Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur d’Iberville for the French Minister of Marine, Louis Phelypaux, Count de Pontchartrain), this is Mandeville’s heart and soul.
