L'Hermitage is a Greek Revival plantation home. Marius Pons Bringier commissioned the home to be built in Burnside, Louisiana as a wedding gift for his son, Michel Doradou in 1812. Michel served as an aide to Andrew Jackson on the Chalmette battlefield in the War of 1812. L'Hermitage was named after General Andrew Jackson's home in Tennessee. The Jacksons visited here in the 1820s.^[2]
