Bienvenue à Sainte Geneviève!

... America's original French Colonial village!

Step back into the fascinating world of an authentic eighteenth century French colony while you enjoy the friendly atmosphere and charm of small town America. Tour our internationally recognized historic homes, museum and downtown historic district. Shop our unique specialty stores and antique malls. Browse through art galleries, taste our premium wines and savour our local cuisines.

Overnight in one of our historic bed and breakfasts or, if you prefer, one of our more modern inns or motels. Cruise Ste. Genevieve's Wine Country and 'Route du Vin' and explore some of Missouri's finest wineries, breweries, and our recently opened distillery.

There's always something going on in a town with this much history. Check out our Events Calendar to see what's happening during your visit. For the outdoorsman, the Ste. Genevieve area hosts first-class Missouri State parks, natural areas and a variety of nearby sights and activities just ready for you to explore.

Getting here is easy! Located just one hour south of St. Louis off Interstate 55, Ste. Genevieve is accessible via major airports (St. Louis' STL, CPS & Cape Giradeau's CGI), auto or motorcoaches.

Fun, Friendly.....Fascinating!

America's oldest European settlement                   ... West of the Mississippi River!
